“Miscarriage of Justice” that was the phrase Reynolds mum used and it just about summoned up the match !!!

First I want to thank you all for putting in the effort today as it was hard for you all today with so many substitutes. We had a full squad available today which meant 5 substitutes ! I thought Nick managed it well to give as time as he could with disrupting the match.

Starting Eleven was Josh, Louie,Morgan,Edonis,Mario, Theo, Faizan, Tom, Callum,Connor & Gabe. Subs Charney, Reynolds, Joel,Joey & Saul

The game started very similar to last week, where we had all the pressure and created the first chances. Gabe forced the keeper into a great save in the first 5 minutes and that set the tone for the first 20 minutes. We broke again and again and yes they did have a good keeper but we just didn’t take our chances. We should of had a penalty when Gabe was pushed but the referee (Who was very poor) didn’t give it. You cannot dwell on referee decision once they are made you have to move on and keep playing. After 20 minutes or so Nick ran the changes but didn’t change the game we were still in control. Reynold’s hit the post and cross bar. The chances game and went and in the end we were made to pay. We even had a bit of WWE with Tom being thrown to the floor and their player being asked to leave  the game. A hopeful ball into the box and i think Saul got a kick in the “Lower” region before they then poked the ball home for a very soft goal which was in the 40th Minute OMG !! Half-Time 1.0

Second half we had the worst start possible and they scored within three minutes Mario sold himself to easily and they crossed to a unmarked man in the box. 2.0. Now usually i start to worry about collapse if you get your heads down but today you kept playing and pushing for the goal. Gabe had another couple of chances Charney and Faizan tried from long range, Connor went through and hit the keeper. Reynolds was really unlucky not to score. I thought he did after about 15 minutes but it went just wide. We had a couple of big penalty shouts for pushes in the box but the referee turned a blind eye. Chances still came but we were never going to score. In the last 5 minutes we pushed up too much and got caught on the break. No ones fault really when we were so desperate to score. 3.0. In injury time we had another blatant penalty turned down but the referee must of felt guilty as he then gave us a penalty for nothing Tom Scored 3.1 and the referee blew for full time. It was a consolation goal but you deserved it and more.

Just a couple of points about your play:

1) When in attack unless its a through ball, come to the ball and win it !

2) Try to get the ball in the box as early as possible, Don’t run around in circles even if it means hitting it with your weaker foot.

3) Every 1st and 2nd ball should have a challenge, If you are going to clear a ball give a big shout so you don’t get in each others way.

Overall very pleased how you played again and same as last week you didnt take your chances 😦

MoTM went to Faizan who broke up play well, attacked, created chances and had an all round good game well done

Training tomorrow night will be shooting practice for the first 30 minutes
