Myers: One Result Could Change Things

Feel-good stories tend to be thin on the ground at a team entrenched in a relegation battle, but there’s no doubt that some of the new additions to the squad have injected a sense of positivity and belief into the Corinthian-Casuals side this past week. 
Among the arrivals is Jared Myers, a 19-year-old winger who signed from Step 5 club Fleet Town last Monday after impressing Justin Fevrier and his coaching staff during a trial. 

The following day, he made his first appearance for Casuals as a substitute against Horsham, coming on just before the hour mark and offering a different kind of threat for us with his darting runs on the wing. He was rewarded for his hard work and persistence with a goal on debut, and looked dangerous once again when he came off the bench against Hastings United on Saturday. 

“It’s been good,” he says of his progress from trialist to first-team player. “There was a lot of boys on trial, so we had a trial game and obviously I impressed in that because the manager put me in the squad, and it was good to get a goal on my debut as well. I am a lively player, I like to get on the ball and drive, and dribble at players, try and take them on, just so I can get us going forward. “Unfortunately, I couldn’t start on Saturday because I fractured my finger, but it’s good to be playing games at a higher level and hopefully I can continue, push into the starting line-up and keep scoring and assisting.” 

Myers has been impressed by the club’s approach to the game, not to mention our footballing heritage, which he quickly read up on after he signed. 

“It’s a big club!” he says. “I was reading about the history and how it was the first football super-club, and I see there’s a good link with Brazil as well, so it’s really interesting.” 

He certainly has pedigree. His father, Andy, was a Premier League footballer, most notably for Chelsea, where he won the FA Cup in 1997 and the European Cup Winners’ Cup the following year. Those were exciting days at Stamford Bridge, with the likes of Ruud Gullit, Gianluca Vialli and Gianfranco Zola making the Blues one of the most watchable teams in Europe. Andy was a rapid defender in that side – stepping in at full-back or centre-back – as one of a handful of homegrown players who kept the local identity strong in a cosmopolitan team. More recently, he has coached Chelsea’s Under-23s and currently mentors the club’s players who are out on loan.  

“It’s very good to have someone like him to learn from,” says Jared. “He’s very harsh on me and my brothers because he wants us to do our best, and he keeps it real for us. Just to have someone coming from a prestigious football background, as a player and coach, is very helpful. Out of my brothers, I’d say I’m the one that’s inherited all the pace, so that’s a good thing!” 

Andy was stood behind the goal last Tuesday night, when Jared used that pace to score an 88th minute equaliser against Horsham on his debut, before being mobbed by the fans.  Casuals were a goal down with time running out, when Myers kept chasing what looked like a lost cause, pursuing a long ball that was bouncing through to Horsham goalkeeper, Taylor Seymour. When the former Casuals custodian let the ball squirm free under pressure, Myers was waiting to poke it round him and roll it into the net. 

“In football, you’ve always got to gamble,” he says. “I gambled on the keeper making a mistake, which he did, and it dropped to me in the right place at the right time.” 

That game ended in bitter disappointment for us when Horsham recovered to score a winner in the 93rd minute, but Myers injected energy into our game again when he came off the bench in Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Hastings United. On this occasion, there was no goal, but Casuals created enough openings to get back in the game in the second half. 

“To be fair, we had a lot of chances that we should have taken and their keeper made some good saves,” says Myers, “but that’s the way football turns – sometimes you can be unlucky, and if we keep playing like that, hopefully we can get the win next time. 

“We saw big improvements from the last game, so I feel like the new boys just getting in – including myself – will gel together and create even more chances. Hopefully next time, we’ll take them.” 

That next game is tomorrow night, when Hornchurch come to Tolworth for our third home game in eight days. Despite the run Casuals are one right now, it feels like this team is very close to getting it right and a positive result against the league’s third-placed side would go a long way to giving them the belief that they can stay in this division. 

“It would be big,” says Myers. “I think all we need is the one result and then we’ll start picking up more from there, then keep moving on with the positives. The only way is up if we get a result in this game.”

Oxford UAFC 1-2 Corinthian-Casuals Schools XI 


As the Corinthian-Casuals Football Club Schools XI arrived at the legendary Oxford University Association Football Club Iffley Road stadium on Saturday (scene of the Roger Bannister 4 minute mile), they knew all too well that it had been five years since their only victory, in the inaugural Brian Wakefield Trophy match of 2018.

Named and played in celebration of the Schools XI’s former manager of forty years (1977 - 2017) - who had represented both the University and the Casuals in the 1950s, before losing his place having gone to the 1960 Olympics as the Team GB goalkeeper! - It’s a special event in the hearts of the club's touring squad, who were desperate to finally reclaim the silverware.

Such is the life of the Schools XI management - they can never be quite sure who will play a part from week to week. With a squad that includes close to 60 names, numbers can vary wildly from week to week - but Chris Dormer and Mark Read must have been delighted to see such a healthy turn out on what was a perfect day for football in such a historic setting.

With the trophy sitting proudly beside the pitch, the game began at a ferocious pace. With Marcus Bell playing at centre forward and Rich Austin and Chris Watney supporting him down the wings, with Ahmed Hussain tucked in just behind the three - Casuals posed the immediate threat. For the first twenty minutes, the Casuals didn’t relent as they created chance after chance - but were continually frustrated by a combination of wayward finishing, the linesman’s flag or the Oxford keepers brilliance.

Marcus held the ball up fantastically, often releasing the wingers, sometimes laying it off for the midfielders, Hussain, Tomlinson and Lank. Mike Tomlinson was a constant threat from Ahmed Hussein’s corners, Lank saw a 30 yard shot fizz wide… the Casuals were dominant in the early exchanges. When Watneys volley from the edge of the box was somehow tipped over the bar, when it seemed destined to nestle in the top corner - you feared it could be one of those days.

And the save seemed to bring about a swing in the game's momentum. Suddenly the younger than usual Oxford side, complimented this year by several current students, began to find their stride and were able to build some attacks of their own. Whereas in the first twenty minutes the Casuals full backs, Will Shackleton and Jamie Burgess were mainly tasked with supporting their wingers, foraging deep in the Oxford half - now they were on the back foot a little, having to defend.

And sure enough, Oxford were now the ones who created a couple of gilt edged chances before the break and the Casuals couldn’t have complained had the referee awarded the former University blues a penalty late in the half. From a free kick on the left hand side, the ball was switched to their number 9 on the right. Managing to control the ball and beat his man, he now found himself one on one with Dan Smith, the Casuals keeper, who was rushing out to shut him down. The ensuing crash between the players didn’t seem to see the ball be successfully claimed by the keeper… and yet the referee, to the relief of the men in pink and brown, waved play on - as the Oxford man remained lying in agony, groaning on the ground and holding his face. It was a more than lucky escape.

Half time, 0-0.

With sunlight fading, Mark Read and Chris Dormer made changes at half time, shuffling their pack, keeping legs as fresh as possible. Dormer having to retire to the sideline through an injury to his hip, Read still nursing a broken bone in his foot - fortunately they had a squad of real depth to play with this week.

Gavin Hall moved into midfield, Rich Hall came on in defence alongside Chris Ferdinand and Paul Mitchell whilst the Spaniard, Aleix Ingles - who can list the Barcelona academy amongst his former clubs (!) - took up a position on the left wing.

The frenetic pace of the game dropped in the second half, with a few more chances coming for each side as the match became increasingly stretched. The Oxford number 10 - who earlier had also played for the Oxford 2nd XI - showed real composure and with a lovely left foot, carved out some great opportunities for the home side.

However, around the 60 minute mark, it was the Casuals who made the initial breakthrough. Joe Parker - the Oxford manager and himself a Casuals stalwart of the past 15 years had come on at centre back for the former blues. A majestic passer of the ball, able to hit Hollywood passes for fun in his pomp - at last hit a dud. As he looked to switch the play, he mistakenly found the Casuals winger Ingles who pounced on the opportunity. Bringing it down, taking in his options, he then released Rich Austin, sliding the striker in as he ran through a gap in the Oxford back line. One on one with the Oxford keeper - who had minutes earlier brilliantly denied Bell in an identical chance - the prolific Austin who’s been dogged with injuries all season, managed to slot the ball into the corner of the net with aplomb. Casuals 1-0. It was a lovely moment for Austin who’s been all too missed this season for the Casuals.

Now ahead, the Casuals pressed on, looking to put the game to bed. Marcus Bell continued to cause havoc for the Oxford backline. Now running from deeper in midfield, with Watney instead leading the line, Bell thought he’d won a penalty when fouled in the box, only for the referee to contentiously pull it back to where he thought the initial contact was made, on the very edge of the area.
At just 1-0, Dan Smith also performed some heroics in goal as Oxford tried to get themselves back in the game. The Oxford number 10 again found himself free in the box, on the left-hand-side and rather than squaring the ball, surprised Smith by firing at what little he could see of the keepers near post. Expecting a cross, Smith's reactions were incredible as he seemed to change direction in the air, managing to flick the ball with his right hand up and over the bar as it was heading for the roof of his net. It was a remarkable save and one that kept the Casuals in front.

Shortly after, at the other end, Watney was then released down the right-hand-side. Controlling the ball by the byline, he looked up to see Aleix Ingles sprinting into the Oxford box, screaming for the ball. With a flick of his right foot, Watney spun the ball between the defenders and into Ingles’ path only to then be upended by the flailing defender who was chasing the Casuals winger into the area… Penalty! The referee finally pointed to the spot. The Spaniard Ingles picked himself up and with real confidence and with his trusted left foot, he smashed the spot kick into the roof of the net. 2-0!

With ten minutes left on the clock, Oxford stepped up their efforts, desperate not to lose their trophy without a fight. When the ball dropped to the talented number 10 thirty yards from goal, there didn’t appear to be much on - only for the cultured playmaker to swing his left foot and hit a clean half volley directly into Dan Smiths top corner - it was a beautiful strike - setting up a grandstand finish. 2-1.

Having waited 5 years to reclaim the cup, a visibly tiring Casuals had to nervously scrap their way over the line and to victory in the closing minutes as the younger and fitter Oxford side dominated the final exchanges. Dan Smith was called into action again and again… As Oxford saw chance after chance go begging, they’ll surely rue their finishing in those late stages. Many a chance went high or wide or was brilliantly blocked by a determined Casuals defence. One such challenge by the debutant Jamie Burgess was outstanding.

By the final whistle, everyone in the days squad, including the injured Mark Read and the seasoned campaigner, Fred Pennel, felt as if they’d played their part in a fine victory which at last crowned the Casuals as victors again for the first time since 2018.

Full Time, 2-1.

As Chris Dormer was presented the trophy, under the squad photo of Oxford University’s famous side of the 1890s - many of whom went on to create so much history as Corinthians - we celebrated the two clubs' great shared traditions, of which this Trophy has now become another wonderful part of. And it was also a game where fittingly, considering Brian Wakefield himself was a keeper, both Goalies had outstanding matches and the Corinthian Spirit award was awarded to the Oxford stopper whilst Dan Smith in the Casuals net was arguably man of the match.

As the celebrations continued long in to the night.. And as a smattering of players from both sides emerged from Oxfords historic “Vinnys” sportsman’s bar close to midnight - friendly rivalries were already being exchanged ahead of next year. The trophy’s become a great fixture in both these clubs calendars, and the Casuals were delighted to bring the cup home again after far too long. Well played to everyone involved on both sides.

Squad: Smith, Shackleton, Dormer, Ferdinand, Burgess, Tomlinson, Lank, Hussain, Watney, Austin (1), Bell, R. Hall, G. Hall, Ingles (1), Pennel, Mitchell, Read.
​
The sides next match is away to the historic Charterhouse School on Saturday 25th of February.

WELCOME SUNNY RAI!

As Justin Fevrier continues to shape his backroom team at Corinthian-Casuals, we are delighted to welcome Sunny Rai to the club as our new Head of Analysis. We caught up with him earlier this week to find out more about his work and the role he has taken on at the club… 
 
Sunny, welcome to the club. How pleased are you to be working with Corinthian-Casuals? 
 
I am delighted to be working at Corinthian-Casuals as Head of Analysis. It is a proud moment for me personally. I want to say a big thank you to Justin for giving me this opportunity and for having belief in the methods we’re working hard to put into place. As a lad who grew up in Birmingham, I must admit that I first heard of Corinthian-Casuals while watching Football Focus on a Saturday afternoon years ago. The history of this club is so special and unique and how it is run now is a credit to everyone involved. It’s been great to attend a couple of home games already to watch the team perform and take in the special atmosphere at the club.  
 
How would you describe your role? 
 
My role is to contribute to and oversee the performance analysis of match videos, as well as the analysis of GPS tracking data. It is a very exciting opportunity to implement some systems of analysis that can be a part of this club’s future going forward and hopefully make a positive contribution. Bridging the gap between scouting and analysis will be a key part of this role, as will be getting the players to buy in and digest the information we are providing. Their feedback is going to be an important part of the process.  
 
What is your background and how did you get involved in competitive football? 
 
While I was studying for my MSc in Sport Analytics at University of East London, I worked as a data analyst with the men’s football team. Our coaching team helped the players win the league and gain promotion to the Premier Division of BUCS (British University & Colleges Sport). I’ve also worked in British Wheelchair Basketball with the East London Phoenix women’s team, my first taste of professional sport. I did my university work placement at Sevenoaks Town FC last year and learnt an immense amount working with the brilliant analysis team there.  
 
I have a strong mathematical background and have always been interested in sport especially football, playing as well as watching. Before the career change into sports data analysis, I was a clinical audit data analyst in the NHS, analysing clinical outcomes data from every NHS trust in the UK. High performance teams don't just operate within sport, they can also be in the healthcare industry, as Mikel Arteta rightly highlighted in a team talk during the recent Arsenal: All Or Nothing series. 
 
Will you be working with a team of analysts and what are your plans for the club's new analysis department? 
 
I lead a small team of analysts from my data analytics consultancy, Sportekk. Having a performance analyst, sports scientist and data scientist on board is key to driving all analyses in the right direction. I want to implement effective and secure systems of analysis and data management. Thankfully the club has already invested well in the technologies we need to extract data from, so all credit to them for doing so. 
 
How have you enjoyed working with Justin, his coaching staff, and the players so far, and how interested are they all in the work you are doing? 
 
Justin, Rich, Glen, Thommo and the others have so much experience and knowledge that it’s impossible not to be like a sponge around them. It is a privilege to witness them all perform their roles on a matchday. I see all the hard work they do behind the scenes, and it is unbelievable! Their input is key into what we are doing, they know the players better than anyone and can provide that human context to player data, which is key to my approach. It has only been just over a month since I’ve been involved so once everything is fully up to speed, I will be speaking more regularly with all the coaching team.

Chislett: It’s in the blood!

18/1/2023

With 19 appearances already this season, Zack Chislett has been an important player for Corinthian-Casuals this term. His dad, Donovan, and grandad, Gordon, played professionally in South Africa – the latter representing the country in 1974 – and his older brother, Ethan, is impressing at AFC Wimbledon this season, so it’s safe to say Zack comes from a family of serious footballing pedigree. Zac Welshman caught up with our young wing-back to chat about family and football.


Before we start with football, we want to know a bit more about you. You were born in South Africa, tell us a little bit about how and when your family came to the UK. 
Yeah, I was born in Durban. I wasn’t there for long, I came over when I was about two, but I’m proud to be South African. My dad was playing professionally out there but he did his knee and couldn’t play any longer, so we came over to England for work.

So your dad was a player, as well. Who did he play for?
A team called AmaZulu, they’re in the first division in South Africa. He was a right-back as well, same as me, so a very similar player.

It must’ve been ingrained in you to play as a right-back then. 
Yeah, that can be a blessing and a curse at times because he can be a harsh critic. My granddad played as well – he played for South Africa, so it’s in the blood!

So was it your dad that got you involved in football?
Yeah, all the early pictures and the early memories were always about football. To be fair, my dad didn’t push it, it was just a thing, it was football or nothing really. And Ethan was already playing so I always used to play with him.

You touched on your brother there too, what’s it like growing up in a family so involved with football?
It shapes a lot of the mood around the house. If everyone’s had a good game, then we’re all buzzing, or if it’s the other way around, everyone’s a bit distraught really. But it’s always been like that, my dad always comes to watch, no matter where the game is or whose playing, he’ll always come to watch and support.
I actually played against Ethan in a pre-season match for Met Police. He was playing left-wing so we were up against each other. It was weird, I remember one point where I shouted “Man on!” to him, it was just instinctual!

Who came out on top in that one? 
I’m going to have to say myself! He didn’t score, he didn’t get past me, so I’ll have to say me.

You said football shapes the mood around the house, is it the kind of environment where you go to the family for advice, or is it more competitive than that?
Yeah, I think it’s more for advice. It’s competitive in a way, I see him doing well and I want to do well but I know some people get competitive in the wrong way and it turns into negative actions when you want them to do badly, or you want to be better than them. But it’s never been like that with us, we want each other to be the best they can be, and that’s what drives us.
Picture
Moving onto Casuals, you joined in the summer from Hampton & Richmond. What were your first impressions as a young player coming to a club with such history, or did you just want to come in and play? 
It was both, but the history dragged me to the Casuals. It means something to play for this club, and it means something to the fans. It’s different from any other club in this league, it feels bigger. There were a few clubs I could’ve gone to, but the history was a big motivating factor.
Even when you go into the clubhouse, you just look around and think this is massive, this is literally football heritage. You see the fans from Corinthians coming down on their football pilgrimage and I just think it's crazy, so I always take note of that, it’s very inspiring.

It’s such a significant club, but it's also such a welcoming club. Have you felt that on the pitch? 
Yeah definitely, even when we were going through a sticky period at the beginning of the season, you’d never get the abuse that you might get somewhere else, you’d always get applauded at the end of the game and I would go over to the fans at the end of the game and shake their hand, it’s a different kind of support and I’m really liking it so far.

As you said, it was tough for a while at the start of the season. What was it like when the form started to turn around a bit and you could give back to those fans?
That was unbelievable, we were getting wins and it was like we were winning the World Cup, everyone was so buzzing! After that long run of defeats and kind of expecting to lose, now we’re changing the mindset to going to attack teams and going to go win games, recently the change in form has been really uplifting for the boys.

What was it like as a young player, to go through that tough run of results early on? Especially with your family being so involved in football, did you lean on them a bit more?
Yeah I did, to be fair, Ethan had a similar thing with Wimbledon at the end of last season, similar to us it felt like you were trying everything but it just wouldn’t happen. So I definitely lean on them. But it was tough, and it’s definitely been a learning experience, I don’t feel like a young player anymore! There are a few younger players in the squad now and I’m coming up on 100 senior appearances, so I feel more established and ready to give advice to some of the players in the team.”
​

Do you think that kind of attitude around the squad has contributed to the turnaround in form?
100 per cent. We brought in Reuben Collins and he’s been brilliant. He’s so positive and he’s always talking. Everyone’s in it together and everyone wants everyone else to do better.”
Picture
We saw the end of that losing streak against Herne Bay back in October. Did it feel like it was coming for you guys?
Yeah, to be honest, it did. I felt during the weeks before then that we were growing and performances were getting better, we were getting a bit more confident, it was just a matter of time before we got that first win.

That was Justin’s first game as manager. Looking back on it now and seeing how the form has improved since then, do you see that day as the turning point?
I think that was definitely the turning point. Most of all for the mindset, to be honest, just wanting to go and attack teams, being a bit more on the front foot and exciting. Especially in that game, we were so much more exciting than we had been before, getting it wide, getting it in the box, keeping the ball but being positive with it. That was definitely a turning point, and the results after that showed as well.

In your position, you have to be so in tune with the other players at both ends of the pitch, is there anyone you’ve got that sixth sense with yet?
To be fair, there’s a couple. Defensively, me and Simba [Kudyiwa] have a really good partnership. I played with him at Met Police, probably about two years ago, so I already knew him, and we talk throughout the game, but we know exactly what each other is going to do. Offensively, me and Luke Stokoe always talk before the game and in training. I’m quite close with him so that also feels like we’ve got a sixth sense, he makes the runs I want him to make and I hope I make the runs he wants me to make.

You mentioned the change in mindset, and the manager is so big on improving the culture around the club. What changes has he made that you think have contributed to the improved form?
That was his biggest message when he first came in, he wants to make it a winning culture. To make it a culture where you come to training happy and wanting to win. He’s definitely changed that with the signings he’s made and he’s big on accountability, he drives that home to us, and I feel like that’s huge in football, not many players are accountable for their mistakes, but we have to be – otherwise we’ll be out the door.
Even the management team are the same, it's not just the players, everyone’s accountable. They sometimes have to suck it up and say, “Yeah I was wrong”. So, yeah, everyone!

Obviously, it’s been a massive change, but we’re still in a relegation battle. What do you as players need to focus on now to beat the drop?
I think, like Justin says, it's all about the culture. Keep trying to improve that and keep that fresh in everyone’s mind, don’t get comfortable with the recent form, stay hungry and just want to win, then it’s easy – you don’t even have to look at the table.
​

Finally, is there anything you want the fans to know?
Just that I love their support. I love going up to them at the end of the game and seeing how happy they are, their unconditional support is brilliant for us as players.

Fevrier: We Have to Keep Evolving

After the 2-0 defeat to Lewes on Saturday, Finlay Stubbs sat down with Casuals manager Justin Fevrier to reflect on the game and assess his time in charge of the club so far... 
 
Casuals suffered their first away defeat of the new year after a closely-fought game against an in-form Lewes side at the weekend, but despite the result Fevrier praised his side’s performance on a frustrating afternoon in Sussex. 
“I thought we played really well today,” he said after the game. “I was quite proud of the boys. We mixed it with a really good Lewes team.  
“On paper we were not expected to get anything from this game and I thought we matched them. We were good in duels, we had a fast start and got in behind a few times. Us changing our shape definitely threw them off and we knew it would as they have been to watch us a few times. Like I’ve said in previous interviews, people are now going to show us more respect which is what they have done.  
“Sometimes it’s difficult to be positive about a defeat but we are pleased with the fact we played very well.” 
Fevrier also reflected on his own performance so far as Casuals manager, three months since he took charge.  
“Personally I think we have underachieved. We are actually very unhappy with what we have done. We feel like we should be out of this situation already.”  
Picture

​Despite the self-criticism, Fevrier reiterated that he is still confident his side will escape danger.  
“We are positive we are still going to get the result we need,” he said. “Now we have got a core group of players that we can work with and maybe add one or two new players, and stick with the group we’ve got for the rest of the season. I think we will get out of this situation. I don’t think we’ll have any issues.” 
During his reign so far, the club has seen a huge turnover in the number of players and when asked about the current squad, something Fevrier was happy to address.  

“The boys we have brought in are young, hungry players – second chancers, I like to call them – and they are doing really well. It has changed a bit as it is evolving and will evolve over time. We just need to keep evolving with the times and focus on the games coming up as we don’t have the luxury of having a stable team, with players being taken by other clubs as well, so we have to adapt.” 

Picture
Fevrier also spoke about his inclusion of young players after he gave a senior debut to 17-year-old William McDonald, who was called up from the youth section’s Under-18s squad.  
“When I came in, one of the first things I was asked was my views on the young players coming through and I said I will connect the youth team with our first team – if they are good enough they will come in.  
“I actually didn’t know about Will until I saw a few video clips of him and spoke to his managers [Mark Taylor and Paul Hill] at Under-18 level, and he’s been doing really well. He’s been training with the squad for a week now and he’s made his debut at the end there. It’s great for the club to see one of their own coming though and I hope more will come after that.” 

Next up for Casuals is a home game under the lights as we take on Horsham on Tuesday night.  
“We hope to retain the level of performance from today, I thought conditions played to our advantage as we do like to play football. Dominic di Paola’s teams are very good passing sides so we expect a very tough test on Tuesday.”
