Very very unlucky ………

Today’s squad Josh, Kevin, Morgan, Edonis, Tom, Louie, Joey, Faizan, Connor, Joel, Charney, Reynolds, Callum and Theo

Afternoon kick-off again and the rain just held off. We started the game really well and in the first five minutes Charney was causing them problems at the back with his pace latching on to a long ball and forcing the keeper into a good save. Very soon another chance fell to Charney and he put it over the ball. Mean while back in the defence we were looking good. Morgan had a great match in reading the game and was constantly intercepting the ball with Tom,Edonis and Kevin all looking solid and providing a good platform to push forward with.

After about 15 minutes Charney broke again after a neat through ball from Connor and probably his best chance but the shot went wide of the post. With ten minutes to go we all got caught by a long ball over the top and the striker ran onto it and shot outside the box into the top corner. 0.1

The next chance again fell to us Callum flicked the ball on and it was played into the box where Theo had a chance cleared off the line. Josh then made two great sweeper/keeper clearances to keep the score down. Half-time 0.1

Second half seemed to start a bit slowly and we were on the back foot for the first ten or so minutes. Eventually the pressure told and they broke down the right and scored too make it 0.2. Twenty five minute to go and now you all seemed to wake up. We pressured up higher on the pitch Nick changed it to 4.4.2 and wee seemed to regain control.Faizan had a run and shot that went wide and Charney was unlucky and the keeper made about two or three really great saves. With twenty minutes gone we got a lifeline a good run by Faizan into the box and the referee a judged that the tackle was unfair – Penalty – It may of been a soft penalty but it was given. Connor took it low and hard to the right, but the keeper guessed right and dived to get a good hand to it, he then got up quickly to foil Reynolds on the follow up. However Reynolds soon got the goal the play deserved, A great shot from just outside the box as the keeper came rushing out made it 1.2

The last ten minutes it was all HW & W Nick switched it too 3.5.2 to try and get the draw and to be honest i thought you would. Charney had a definite penalty not given after he was taken out by the keeper. We had a few other half efforts but just couldn’t find a way through. They nearly did score a third in the last minute but Josh made a great save and then they kicked it at Josh when it was easier to score the rebound.

MoTM – Morgan had a really good game at the back and i thought Charney had a great 20 minutes at the start of the first, But i gonna give to Connor who worked really hard in midfield today, constantly pushing the ball forward, unlucky with the penalty and didn’t let his head drop after the save.

Everyone should be pleased they were supposedly from a division above but on a different day you could of won by 2 or 3 goal. Well done everyone

Training is on the grass tomorrow night so see you there. So BOYS who ever is their first please grab two goals.

Please let Nick or myself know if you cannot make it.
