It was cold out there …………….

Today’s squad Frankie, Jack, Tom, Morgan, Edonis, Bucks, Louis, Connor, Jed, Joey, Reynolds, Gabe, Saul, Joel and Arlind.

This was our first ever proper game on 4G and i think it showed in your play. We started slowly but had the upper hand. At times we held onto the ball far too long and didn’t play the ball through quick enough. The back three of Tom, Morgan and Edonis after a couple of early jitters looked solid and shackled there bast player. Reynolds was unlucky not get on the end of a couple through ball . With fifteen minutes gone Connor went to take a corner, he looked up and saw a Brady player not paying much attention so he bounced the corner off the player into the net.(writers poetic license) 0.1

It was just reward for a lot attacking play, very soon after Joey was taken roughly out of the game and won a deserved free-kick. Tom hit the ball straight and it flew into the top . 0.2

Far too often we didn’t get out shot away or ended up in a offside position. This allowed Brady back into the game. The Brady forward ran down the right unchallenged, then allowed to cut inside and no one closed him down. He hit a great shot that Frankie had no chance. 1.2

Last ten minutes it was all us but we couldn’t take our chances , Saul had a great chance just before half time but the keeper saved well. 1.2HT

Second half started and we were on the back foot from the start. Brady had the pressure in the first five minutes and after some slack defending we gave the ball away cheaply the ball was ran down the wing and crossed into the middle, somehow it got bundled in 2.2

Now it was time to wake from your slumber, and you did. We started to take back control of the game and the match was now being played in their half. With ten minutes gone of the second half a free kick was won just outside the box. Tom shot into the far corner and it was 2.3. Our heads were up again and we were the better team. That’s not to say it was easy, Brady broke down our right and Frankie came out to make a excellent save  in a one on one.

Very soon Jed broke down the left went past two players and drove into the box, as the goalie came out he placed the ball firmly in the corner, a really good goal that effectively killed the match. 2.4

Last twenty minutes and it was all us, Gabe should of scored as the goalie came out but the defender manged to get back to clear the line. From the resulting corner. The ball found Gabe who had time to get the ball down and unleash a shot. The goalie made a fantastic save but Louis followed to put the ball in the back of the net 2.5

Last five minutes and still time for one more. The ball was played up Gabe who got past the last man and finished calmly a deserved goal.2.6

All in all a good result, to be honest not your best performance but its the result that matters. Well done all.

MoTM : Today I thought Jed had a good game and scored a fantastic goal, Tom solid game again and two goals from free kicks but i am going to give it to Morgan, led well from the back today made numerous interceptions and tackles. Good play from the skipper.

Training as usual tomorrow see you there.
