Well at least the weather was better than the first time we tried to play, but to be honest the pitch was still very heavy.

Today squad Josh, Jack, Morgan,Edonis,Callum,Joel,Connor,Faizan,Tom,Gabe,Reynolds, Joey, Kevin

Nick started with a 4.4.2 formation to try and exploit the size of the pitch with Reynolds and Gabe’s pace. It started well and Gabe had a couple half chances. Reynolds took one early with his left and was just wide all in the first ten minutes. We then came under pressure for about five minutes as they had four corners in quick succession. It was during this phase that we let a goal in against the run of play there number 10 drifted to the edge of the box, picked the ball up and shot really good goal. However the ref had missed a foul on Faizan in the build up so a bit unlucky. 1.0

Nick changed it as we were being over run in the middle 3 v 2 so he dropped Joey in as the anchor and we reverted to a more familiar 4.1.4.1. The chance began again. Very soon we were back level, a corner by Faizan was flicked in by Edonis. 1.1

Gabe had a few more chance and switched with Tom to outside left to give him more space as every time he went forward the linesman would give offside even if he was or not. Connor picked the ball up played a neat one two with Faizan and then played the ball up Tom who placed it home, really nice goal. 1.2  With five minutes of the half left we got a free kick, Tom played it in and Gabe neatly volleyed it in. 1.3 Halftime.

Second Half started and they came out a bit stronger eager to make up for losing. The first few half chances feel there way but really Josh didn’t have to make a real save as the back four were back to there reliable selves. A couple of times we played ourselves into trouble when we should be clearing our lines. After about 15 mins Tom broke though the middle slotted the ball home 1.4

From here on in the opposition heads dropped and we could of scored quite a few more. 25 Mins gone and Tom won the ball played it to Faizan who played out to the right Connor then brought the ball forward and rolled it across the face of the goal to Reynolds who timed his run well and smashed it in. That was a great team goal 1.5

Some more pressure from us and the goalie pulled off three saves when it looked like we going to score, Connor then had one saved by the goalkeeper, the final passage of play put the icing on the cake. Reynolds floated in a great free kick and bounced it off Gabe’s head (don’t believe Gabe headed a ball) scoring his first headed goal of the season. Referee blew his whistle 1.6

All in all good performance by you all. Everyone worked hard and encouraged each other. Next Game home next week to Aldenham details to be arranged. which will leave the home fixture with Mill Hill also to be arranged. Lets win our last two
