That was a tough game and i felt a tough result. You all had a better first half than second but overall you all did well.

The first half started really well and you came out of the blocks firing obviously that extra hour sleep paid dividends. In the first 10 minutes Reynolds, Gabe and Connor all had chances but either hit the woodwork or the keeper saved well. Nick had to change the formation today with Tom away but the back four of Saul ,Morgan Adonis and Charne looked solid and coped well. To be honest the best chance fell to the opposition, after Josh saved well the follow up was blasted over the bar. We must remember to follow in the shots. We still pushed in the first half with Louis and Joel working hard breaking play up. Faizan had two shots towards the first half one which was well blocked and the other went just wide when the keeper was off his line. Callum and Jonathan both came on in the first half to freshen things up but we just couldn’t find the goal our play deserved.  Josh i thought also had one his most commanding halves i seen for a long time in goal . Half-time 0.0

Second half started well but very soon we stopped challenging for the ball enough, we let them push us back and we invited on pressure. We still looked a threat on the break with Gabe and Reynolds pace. Unfortunately with about 15 mins gone the pressure finally told. We had a couple of chances to to clear the ball but it either hit a forward or would not get from under our feet. They scored from about 5 yards out. Nick ran the changes again and pushed Jonathan back upfront and Charne pushing up to right midfield with Callum going to right back. Still we had chances but nothing really clear cut. With about 10 minutes to go came the decisive moment the forward went offside but the referee continued play and Edonis took him out in the area penalty. I know it was a hard decision but thing happen at all levels of football you just all have to pick yourselves up and move on. They scored 2.0. Heads did drop a bit and Nick sacrificed the holding player to create more upfront but within a few minutes they scored. Again we had two or three chances to clear but i think you were all nervous about giving another penalty away so ran through 3.0. Last 5 minutes at least we kept pushing and again created some half chances but nothing clear, i think Gabe and Reynold both had half chances. Match finished 3.0

MoTM this week was Morgan I thought he was really strong against there forwards and cleared the ball well when we were under pressure. Also it was his first center half start for over a year.

Heads up boys it was not that bad, another day and we could of one this. Match is at home next week 10AM and Nick will confirm later in week. Otherwise training tomorrow night. see you all there.
