First Thanks to Nick for actually getting the game on. It was a nightmare to organize . The second thanks goes to your parents who got you all to the right ground at the right time. Third thanks to you for all really playing well today and trying your best.
It actually turned out to be a really warm day which made it really hard going we also kicked up the slope in the first half. We started really well Charney broke a couple of times and so did Reynolds. The first real chance fell to Reynolds who put his shot over the bar. Then Connor had a shot from outside the box that went just wide. We were playing the better football with Faizan committing the defenders and playing the ball forward at every opportunity. We still had all the pressure and Josh swept well from the back. However just before halftime they broke a long clearance from the back and we were caught short. Saul did his best but was in a 2.1 situation. They scored a well worked goal. 0.1 Half time
Second half started and we had the slope and the pressure and after two minutes it was 1.1. The ball was worked down our left and cane into Charney who i can only say Miss-hit but the ball rolled straight into the Corner. We now had all the game. Adonis and Tom defended really well at the back against the constant long ball. Morgan and Saul both helped and kept pushing our wingers forward. First chance fell to Joel who should of shot with his left instead he ran round the ball and hit with his right this gave the defender time to clear it off the line. Next both Reynold and Charney dragged shots wide of the post. Faizan and Connor both had shots from outside the box that the goalie saved. Suddenly though HMH broke and the center forward beat two players and should of scored but some dogged defending by Saul prevented him from getting the shot away and eventually we cleared our lines. We continued to apply pressure but it felt as if we were not going to break them down. 36th minute the goalie took a goal kick which Connor picked up in the middle who brought it forward and fed the ball to Joel whose first touch pushed it into space. He hit it and the ball nestled in the bottom corner 2.1 Great Goal great comeback !!!!! Full time whistle went a minute later.
Nick said i could pick a MotM and my choice was Joey. Who while not maybe doing the pretty things he worked hard closed down players and made about 50 tackles. But to be honest it was a close call i thought you all played well and worked for the team
Josh – Much better calling and sweeping from the back
Saul – One of you best games made some vital tackles
Tom – Good sweeping and good captaincy kept encouraging everyone
Edonis – Solid and kept looking to play the ball forward
Morgan – Worked hard down the right linked up well
Joey – Excellent tackling and closing
Connor – Really good 2nd half and dictated the game
Faizan – Always a handful and had the beating of their midfield
Callum – Closed down helped the defense best game so far
Charney – Tireless running beat the defense for pace on numerous times
Joel – Should of Scored but made up for it with a Excellent winner.
Reynolds – Chased everything, battle hard upfront on his own, another day will score a hat trick
See you at Training tomorrow π
PS The Ref was awesome
