First I would like to thank Frankie for going in goal at the last minute because Josh wasn’t well

We started very well and had the first chance, unfortunately the broke we had a chance to clear but didn’t take take it 1.0, very quickly after it was 2.0 again we didn’t take our chance to clear the line.

After that we started to play Charney was causing problems down the right and Carl on the left. Khalid broke twice and was unlucky not to score. To be honest we had 3 or 4 more chances but failed to take any. Just before half time it went 3.0 Frankie made a good save but they were quicker to the rebound.

Second half we let in a goal as Frankie clearence hit the attacker and they put it into a empty net. But still we had chance Archie was unlucky with one that hit the post. Carl and Kevin forced good saves. The defence were much better with Tom, Connor Patrick, Chris, Saul and Mario all starting to dominate and play some good through balls. Finally we got the goal we deserved a good cross from the right and Morgan buried it in the corner. After that i felt we were the better team and had most the pressure.

However the action wasn’t over a harsh penalty was given against us and it was Frankie against there striker. He gave Fankie the eyes but he lept like a cat and saved well.  I have a feeling Frankie might be telling that story for a while LOL. After that i felt we should of had a penalty and also could of scored from numerous other chances.

All i can say if you had played like this last week you would of beaten HMH and today you were unlucky.

Keith’s MotM – Frankie

Remember Astro’s tomorrow as we might do a 5 a side tournament and no game Sunday.

All of you have a great Christmas and try to stay fit …… Keith, Nick & David

OK So where shall i start ……………….

To me you all had the wrong attitude at the start either it was overconfident or concerned that they had two players at 6FT (Who were not very good) not sure which it was but all i know was that you all stank in the first half!

There was no fight, no urgency no nothing. Too many of you trotting around the pitch hoping someone else would do the work four you. If you are not involved in the match then dont just stand there and let it pass you by. Forwards drop back to midfield and help win the ball and then turn and run stretch the play. Left/Right midfielders track back help the defence or tuck in the center to help out Dont hide !!!

This was really the cause of the first goal people did not track back leaving a opponent a free shot outside the box and some how it went in. Josh had no chance with so many people in the way. The second goal was unlucky and the player never meant it. After a sliced clearance a hopeful cross got caught in the wind and dropped in.

Even after the two goals you had all the play Archie shot well but the goalie made a good save other than that no many chances considering where the play was. It would be a wayward ball, not playing the ball early enough, Playing it in the air to there 6FT center halves or crosses not clearing the first man.Lets Just say the first half could not end quick enough. Keith then gave you all the Alex Ferguson hair dryer treatment…….

Second half  – We were against the wind and kicking uphill so invited a lot of pressure on ourselves. Tom made some great defending headers about 3 in a minute but still the pressure mounted. From a corner they had a man unmarked in front of goal the ball wasn’t even crossed, he passed it too him turned and shot. 3.0 No way back now. Then straight away from a throw on no one challenges the bounced over everyone a flick on. no one marking goal…….. At least now you started to fight Connor sent Archie through and the keeper came out well. Charney hit the post from a driving run. You should of scored from a free kick if the Ref had allowed you take a quick free kick but all in all the damage was done in the first half. The last 25Mins you all played so much better i just wished you started like that.

Things we need to work on this week training: Challenging for the ball Corners and throw-ons, Tracking back and early passing . So see you all tomorrow for training and with serious attitude.

Every time we have a week off we always seem to play poorly the following week so perhaps we should always have some training in Sunday.

Keiths MoTM was Connor
