Down with a Bump …….

Today’s squad Frankie, Jack, Saul, Henry, Jed, Sony, Connor, Harry, Arlind, Gabe, Morris, Joey, Polly, Max and Tommy

The first five minutes i felt we were on the front foot and were pushing the defense back. Soon after they began to dominate bit and were pushing us back. They won two corners in quick succession and the second of these saw there 6ft 5 inch striker header free into the net 0.1  ten minutes gone.

We were still on the back foot and not winning the midfield. A few players were too high and not tracking back enough. Nick changed it to 4.4.2 with Jack in the middle and Saul back in field. From i hear i felt it was a much more even contest with little actual clean chances falling to either side. However injury struck Henry mad a great tackle but took a knock on his leg and foot and could play no further part. So Morris got drafted to centre half !

Still little chances the last twenty minutes but it was tough game, every tackle got a extra kick or grab of the shirt as they tried to rial you. Finally we got our best chance Max broke down the left and cut in and it hit the post. The ball flew out and Connor first time stab flew just wide of the post. With five minutes to go injury struck again as Arlind limped off and out of the match with a ham-string strain. HT 0.1

Second half again i felt we started better with a couple of breaks and half chances. However once again the ten minute mark proved our downfall a ran down the right and he ran across the byline maybe Frankie should of done better but he pushed the cross out and it fell to the forward who passed it into a empty net 0.2

Two minutes late and the tie was over, a miss understanding and a miss header at the back left the striker clean through Frankie saved the initial shot bit again they scored the rebound 0.3

The last twenty five and we came under more pressure which we dealt with well and i felt we looked dangerous on the break. Frankie made two good saves firstly a one on on that he blocked with his feet and soon after he got back to the far post to save a goal bound volley. When Frankie was finally beaten Morris was on line to clear with a great header.

Last fifteen i felt we had a goal in us. Max was unlucky with a long range effort and Gabe also put one just over the bar. Gabe also was found in some great space down the left but cut in a couple of time and the danger was cleared. With ten minutes to go  injury struck again as Max was clipped in the tackle and was out of the match.

Jed had a great run down the left played the ball across and no one could get on the end of the cross. Last ten also see Harry leave the field with a thigh strain. Sometime thats how the game goes. Full time 0.3

MoTM Two players really caught my eye Polly who played really well at right back and further up when asked, non stop running really tried the other was Morris started up top and finished a center half put a real shift in for the team made some great tackles and blocks Morris just pipped Polly Well done.

well done all see you on Wednesday
