Today squad was Josh, Jack, Morgan, Edonis, Louie, Faizan,Tom, Connor, Kevin, Saul , Reynolds, Joel, Joey & Charney.

It was our first afternoon kick off for ages and this morning i thought it was going to be a very wet. In the end the sun came out but it was still very cold.

We kicked off and started well and applied a lot of pressure. The first few chance came Reynolds way cutting in from the right and firing wide. It was from one of these chances we took the lead. Joey played the ball forward and Reynold out muscled his opponent and finished well 1.0. To be honest we had the better play but chances were few and far. Towards the end of the first half we were troubled by some corners but manged to get the ball clear. Half time 1.0

Second half started well again and we had the early pressure. Unfortunately some sloppy defending down the left and they got in behind us it broke to there forward who finished well. 1.1. From here we still had more possession but looked suspect able to the counter attack. It was from a counter attack that Josh saved at point blank and also Edonis stopped what seemed a certain goal with a fabulous goal line clearance still the pressure grew but we just couldn’t find the right pass or lucky break. With a minute left we got hit on counter attack again. Too many of you were forward, they broke and scored 1.2

Straight from the kick a long ball from Edonis put Kevin through but the keeper made an excellent save to put in wide for a corner. From the resulting corner Tom shot and the goalie made another fantastic save to push it on to the bar. to be honest these were our only clear cut opportunities in the second half. The Referee blew not long after for the final whistle. 1.2

Overall we were unlucky we should of at least had a draw. To many of you had average games to really makes us as dominant as we were last week. We have the return game in a couple of weeks and i think you all have something to prove. I felt at times we played too slowly and made a extra unnecessary pass or tried to beat a extra player when the quick ball was on either out wide or over the top.Heads up and move on to the next game.

MoTM : Edonis defended really well under a lot of high balls
