Very Unlucky to lose.

Today’s squad Frankie, Morgan, Tom, Edonis, Harry, Louis, Saul, Connor, Joey, Jed, Ollie, Gabe, Morris, Arlind and Reynolds.

We started fairly well in what was a tight first ten minutes. We had a couple of chances Ollie was unlucky not to get on the end of one and Jed created some good pressure with his pace upfront. Just as i said to Nick that we were looking quite good after 15 mins, we got caught square at the back and the strike ran on to finish really well. 1.0

Nick ran the first of the changes and it almost paid off immediately Gabe ran onto a ball down the left and the keeper save with the shot with his foot as he closed the angle. Frankie made a good save also coming out to narrow the angle. Good work down the right and the ball played to edge of the penalty area where Connor hit it first time but it sailed over the bar. The last chance of the half fell to Saul who rose well at a corner from Jed but his header was cleared off the line. HT 1.0

Second half we almost gave a goal away with some slack passing and clearing, but we weathered the storm and came back into the game. Gabe and Morris were creating problems for the defence and were unlucky not to get on the end of a couple of chances. Connor intercepted the ball in midfield, drove forward and shot only to see the ball go over by a couple of inches.

With twenty five minutes gone Jed won the ball in our half and drove forward, played the ball into the box but it was cleared, only to fall to Jed again, this time he played it to Saul who in turn put a dangerous ball across the penalty box, the defender toe poked it out but Louis was following up to smash the ball into the corner. Really good goal from Louis 1.1

Suddenly we were on the front foot and looked dangerous every time we attacked .  A ball was played from the back Morris flicked it on and Connor came through from deep to finish really well as the keeper came out 1.2

Last five minutes and it went away from us, they started to pressure us more and at times we over committed going forward. It was from a break away that Tom slid into concede a corner and got winded, Whist he was off the pitch the corner was taken and a free header at the near post made it 2.2

The last few minutes was end to end stuff, both teams looking for the win, unfortunately not our day. As we looked to break a stray pass went to the opposition who ran down the left and scored. So so unlucky.

Last thirty seconds we pushed everyone up but could not find the equalizer you so much deserved. 3.2 FT

MoTM : Well last week i couldnt even bring myself to write the nlog. Much much better this week. Player of note Harry , good second half got really involved, Edonis played well down the left of teh three at the back, infact the back three Tom, Morgan and Edonis played well. But todays MoTM was Connor worked really hard on midfield unlucky with two chances but scored his third, Well done

See you all Tuesday –
