Another Top of the table clash…..

On a blustery day today’s squad wad Reynolds, Theo, Morgan, Edonis, Tom, Bucks, Jed, Saul, Connor, Chris, Gabe, Joey, Louis, Jack and Arlind.

Lunchtime kick off so you all got there nice and early which enabled us to hand out the new training/Away kit (for Clashes). The match started after we done a minutes silence in respect of the awful tragedy in France. From the off we were in attack Gabe was unlucky in the first couple of minutes. Chris was also looking dangerous trying to breakdown either flank. In the first twenty minutes we had most the possession and it was at the end of this and after around five corners that we got the goal you deserved. Jed and Connor worked the ball down the left and fed it into Gabe who calmly finished in the bottom corner. 0.1

With our noses we continued to push, we were so unlucky at times where we just need to take a little pace off the through ball or follow the shot in. Both Connor and Louis had some good efforts from distance. With thirty minutes gone we got a free kick  about 25 yards out, with the swirling Tom had a shot which the goalie could only push into the back of the net 0.2 and HT

Second half started and they came out strong, as you would of expected. With the wind behind them thew kept pushing the ball up quickly, however Morgan, Tom and Edonis held strong and kept them out. after five minutes Joey picked the ball up in midfield and fed Chris the ball who ran on the last 30 yards and coolly finished as the keeper came rushing out. 0.3

After fifteen minutes Theo was played in and it was his turn to finish smartly in the bottom corner 0.4

That was effectively game over, you were already the better team and creating half chances at will. With twenty minutes to go Gabe came back on and almost scored straight away. Another ball played through the channels, Gabe took the ball around the keeper and scored into a empty net. 0.5

The last fifteen minutes saw Reynold make a fantastic save to push the ball over the bar. Gabe nearly got his hat trick from a corner. Unmarked in the box he took it on the chest but volleyed it over the bar, I don’t think he realised how much time he had. For the last ten minutes Nick made a raft of changes and even gave Reynolds a run upfront from which he nearly scored. However the last goal of the game fell to Aldenham too many of you pushed up for a corner and they hacked the ball clear and it fell nicely to the striker who scored 1.5 FT

MoTM : Again another good week for so many of you. The defence was so solid that we were playing this “so called” super striker I didn’t even know he was on the pitch. The midfield controlled the match and the forwards all looked dangerous. But today it went to Reynolds, he went in goal for the first time in 4 yeras and his confidence grew with game. Happy to kick the ball clear when receiving the ball from defence and came out well to claim the ball well. In the second half he claimed the ball really well from a free kick and capped it all with a great save.

Training is at Ashmole 6.30 see you there
