A cloudy start which ended up a bright sun shiny day …….

Today’s squad Frankie, Tom, Morgan, Edonis, Jed, Theo, Connor, Saul, Joey, Gabe, Reynolds, Chris and Joel

We started very slowly, yes we had the pressure but everything was a bit sloppy. Aldenham dropped deep played only one upfront and made it very difficult for us to create space. This is when the wingers need to pull wide when we are attacking and make runs behind the full back. First real chance fell to Gabe which the keeper saved, another chance fell to Gabe after a great 1-2 with Connor again to only be foiled by the keeper. In the first twenty the back four of Tom, Morgan, Edonis and Jed proved too strong for Aldenham leaving Frankie as a mere spectator / Sweeper.

Nick made a couple of changes and soon the fresh pace helped create the first goal Chris broke down the right and fed the ball across, Jed had pushed up and unleashed a fantastic shot that flew in top corner. Just shows that what you practice in training can pay off !!! 1.0

Still we had the game but failed to score the goals our play deserved, with five minutes to go the ball got played up Saul and Gabe and not quite sure what happened but the ball ended up in the net. Gabe to his credit said it was Saul’s Goal 2.0 HT

Second half and we began exactly where you left off with all the pressure and soon it paid off Theo got played in and scored 3.0. Joey took a corner and Saul was unlucky with a shot that deflected for another corner, unfortunately it also resorted in the end on Joey’s game as he pulled his groin. However from the corner Theo, Yes Theo scored with his head !!!!! 4.0

With thirty minutes to go i would of thought that would of been it but a little lapse in concentration and it was 4.1 This made the next ten minutes quite tight but the game was ended when Theo claimed his hat- trick to make it 5.1

Next came a goal of the season contender, Connor won the ball in midfield, played a defense splitting ball down the left, Joel “Messi” Peters took the ball forward went round one player, then nutmeged a second, then buried the ball in the back of the net GOOOOOOOALLLLL 6.1

At this point all the goals started to merge and Nick rotated the team so much i am sure Edonis and Morgan were both upfront at some point.

Theo – Scored his fourth and was promptly put at full back

Edonis – First Goal of the season a calm side foot shot

Gabe – Got the goal he deserved from the first half.

Reynolds – Cut in from the right and scored

Tom – A 20 yard screamer that hit the top corner. Then put at Center half

Final score 10.1 A really excellent performance to get our spirits up after last week, but trust me we will have tougher opponents to come.

MoTM. Another week of some excellent performance, I will single Joel as i thought he worked so hard and i look forward to see that type of performance every week, But the MoTM went to Theo and his hat-trick in ten minute spell, and an assist with a cheeky flick for Gabe’s Goal.

Editors Comment : some already noticed that there are 11 goals not 10 but Messi deserved one of Theo’s 🙂
