It will come ………..

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

First thank to everyone on getting there on time, I know for most it was around an hour. However for me it felt like most of you were still asleep for the first five minutes. Little talking movement , calling for the ball etc etc etc….

Finally you woke and had the first meaning full attack Saul won the ball and Arlind played it forward to Connor who shot well but the keeper made a fantastic save. The next five minutes you started to play, but they looked dangerous on the counter and from a clearence the ball broke on our right. No one closed the man down and a free shot that flew into the top corner. 1.0 down and i have no idea why.

Still we played the better football, Maybe Saul header from a corner did creep in but it was too tight to call with no goaline technology. Maybe we should of had a penalty. In the meantime they won a corner the first header got cleared no one closed the man on the edge, shot, Goal 2.0

Another break and Frankie saves brilliantly on a one v one situation.

Theo created a good chance down the right played a one too and could of cross (two men unmarked at the back) but shot near post and it was a great save.

With about five minutes to go we were still playing the better football but not taking out opportunities, finally we did good work down the left, the ball fell to Jed who lashed it home. 2.1 and that was HT

Second half started and i felt we invited them on to much, put ourselves under pressure and did not clear our lines properly too much “to you, to me ” nice football but not in our last quarter under pressure. After around 15 minutes we broke, hitting them on the counter, I think Morris got kicked in the box and the ref gave a penalty. Tom placed it in the corner 2.2 back in the game.

However our joy was to be short lived, from a corner the opposition rose unchallenged and scored a header. The sad thing was that was the first corner you switched off for. You had defended them so well from a much taller team. Edonis and Saul won some great headers. 3.2 fifteen minutes to go

With ten minutes to go along ball from the back and the sun blinds Frankie as he comes out. The forward bundles the ball in and then kicks Frankie in the head afterwards 4.2 ten minutes to go. Frankie knock to the head means Reynolds goes in goal for the last ten.

We still created chances, I really thought Gabe scored but shot at the keeper, the ball got cleared but we picked up the loose ball and Morris just misses with a thundering header. Yes a little Argy bargy at the end between Edonis and the No 5 (who also elbowed Jed) but nothing serious 4.2 FT

What can i say….. The referee was good, no blame there, you played well in parts. Where you the better team probably yes but we did not take chances or close down men quickly enough. I have no doubt we can turn this round, you have played some tough teams which will stand you well in the league.

MoTM, Saul, Edonis, & Morgan all defended well today making some good headers and interceptions. Connor played well creating a few chances and good corners (bah one LOL) and crosses. But today it went to Jed who worked hard scored a good goal and only came off due to injury. Well done Jed

Boys no training this week, Nick will let you all know about the match next week.

In the meantime lets encourage everyone, get behind everyone and get this win your season deserves .
