Cup run over…………….

First sorry i forgot to take photos today, too busy warming up. If anyone does take photos during the game please feel free to send them to me for the blog.

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

It was a very tight and close game, which i think will be judged by the length of the blog LOL. Anyway match started and i thought it was tight a lot of midfield battles and the defence sweeping up. The first real chance feel to them. They broke through the middle and Frankie saved well, however ball fell to another opposition player who i thought was going to score, But Frankie was back on his feet quickly and made a great save at the base of the post.

Next chance fell to us the ball was played out from the back to Connor who in turn slid it to Reynolds and his first time shot was well saved by the keeper. Arlind made a great pass forward that also resulted in the keeper making a good save from Reynolds. Jed was unlucky with a strike just out the box. But don’t let my report fool you we were under pressure a lot but the back four dealt well with the attacks well, also Berkhamsted were a danger at corners with there two 6 foot plus center backs always a threat HT 0.0

Second half i felt we started the better team and created a couple half chances. Jed made a couple of great runs down the left and wrecked a couple of there players. Jed played a ball in the Connor headed first time from the edge of the box and it went just wide.

After around 15 minutes Saul won the ball in midfield and drove forward, as he pushed the ball forward it ricocheted off a defender and feel nicely for Reynold who took one touch and fired into the corner of the goal. A deserved goal for Reynolds after a lot of selfless running a creating a couple of chances 0.1

Next 10 minutes we came under a bit of pressure again mainly from corners. I think Saul won three great headers in a row and then Edonis one, On the break we looked dangerous and Saul hit the crossbar with a shot just outside the box. Finally though pressure told and with ten minutes to go they equalized from a corner 1.1

Last minutes was a little bit frantic and no one had any real chances final score 1.1

MoTM : A difficult one this week, as i thought everyone worked much harder than last week. The game did get broken up by stoppages whist the ball was retrieved and i cannot believe the ref didn’t play any added time. so i am going to give it as unit “The defence” but for the report i will give it to Jack. He has had a few games out and at times not been fully switched on. Today he was strong, committed and focused. I expect to see this type of performance every week now JACK !!!

Well done all of you and see you at training tomorrow
