Definitely an End of season game…….

Today’s squad was Josh, Callum, Edonis, Kevin, Jack, Theo, Joey, Faizan, Reynolds, Joel, Gabe, Tom, Connor, Morgan and Louis

Nick rang the changes to give a few players more game time and to see how they would respond in the starting line up with next season already in his thoughts.

Unfortunately you all started like you were still in bed. On the first attack we had three chances to clear yet took none of them eventually the ball fell to there winger who played the ball across and it hit Jack and it went into the goal 0.1 after approx 45 seconds. This then led to painfull 15 minutes, you were all so quite no one was calling for the ball, no challenges were made we didn’t attack the ball. They nearly scored a couple more times with long balls down the middle, we didn’t attack the ball, let in bounce over our heads for them to run onto goal but Josh was on his toes which enabled him to stop the danger.

After 17 minutes Nick switched all around and we started to take more control on the game. Gabe and Reynolds both had some half chances but nothing concrete. Best chance of the half fell to Gabe after a great free kick from Edonis but the goalie saved well. Whilst we had more of the ball we found it difficult to create any real chances. Morgan defended really well at centre half and to push us forward as often as possible, but they played a high line and we fell offside far too often. Half time 0.1

Second half and Nick changed it around again to give some players more game time in different position. This half you came out battling and wanting to win and we had the pressure from the word go. Still though the chances were few, Tom got taken out when he was put through, from the free kick Louis brought a good save from the keeper.

Free kicks seemed to be our best chance, Edonis put one over the bar and had another cleared on the line by the defender. With Five minute to go we had our best chance the ball rolled across penalty box by Gabe, It looked like Edonis was going to smash it in but he seemed to just tap it, which gave the defender time to clear it off line. We had a couple shouts for penalties but i think the Referee had taken a vow of silence and not been to “Spec Savers”. No matter what we threw at the opposition which included the Kitchen sink we just couldn’t get the goal you play deserved. On a serious note if the game was crucial then we probably wouldn’t have played Jack, Morgan and Edonis up front but its important the boys enjoy there football and that everyone does what is asked. All the players gave 100% in that second half no matter what position they were asked to play. Well done all of you. Full time 0.1

MoTM : This week it went to Louis he worked really hard and played some nice balls through and i thought he created a chance in the last minute that was going to give us the draw and i think he even took a punch in back for the team.

Training tomorrow is on grass (Rugby Pitch) if you cannot make it please let Nick or myself know.

There is no game next week or the week after (Easter) but we will try to get a couple friendlies in April.
