Sloppy starts, with a sting in the tail…..

Today’s squad Frankie, Hyde, Edonis, Sony, Polly, Harry, Saul, Connor, Jed, Max, Ollie, Arlind, Gabe, Joey and Joey

Unfortunately we are getting into a bad habit, goals at the start of each half are killing us ….. And so it was today, in the second minute we didn’t go with runners and a speculative ball through the middle caught us on the back foot and he ran in on goal and scored 0.1

The next ten minutes we were under pressure and slowly we started to work our way back into the game. Some good play by Polly down the right played into Connor in the middle a quick 1,2,1,2 with Morris and Morris shot was pushed wide by the keeper.

From the resulting corner Saul got his head to the ball but found the side netting. Frankie was sweeping well behind the back three meaning we kept the pressure on going forward. Frankie then pushed a really good shot over the bar as the player cut inside.

Five minutes later we got the goal your play deserved, a great run down the left by Max a LEFT footed cross was met by a LEFT footed finish by Polly coming in from the Right wing. Its was a great Goal. 1.1

We were back in the game it was tight but i felt we had chances. However five minutes  before halftime They scored a soft goal as we didn’t clear the ball 1.2

We were then lucky when the Referee didn’t give a penalty for a foul. NOTE to you ALL, contrary to what the Referee said a foul is a foul you don’t have to go down to win a PENALTY that is just encouraging diving. HT 1.2

Second half guess what happened we gave the ball away and the scored in the 46th minute 1.3 To be honest this killed the game but at least you kept playing. Some really nice football with Jed and Joey resulted in a corner. From the corner somehow with had two chances to score and the ball would not go in the net.

Frankie made another couple great saves and Louis cleared off the line but once again sloppy in possession meant we gave the ball away to cheaply  and they broke. 1.4

Still you pushed forward we got a free kick which they broke from quickly we didn’t recover quick enough and was punished as they rolled into the net with a 4 on 1 scenario 1.5

Gabe was unlucky with a shot that just went over and Connor put one just wide, However in the last minute with you all pushing for a consolation we were undone again to make it 1.6

MoTM : Three players i thought played well today Connor played some great ball forward and work hard in midfield, Frankie swept really well behind the back three and made three fantastic saves and Oliver (Polly) Mcgahon who work so hard on the right hand side in attack and defence and scored a fantastic goal with his left foot. Polly is my MoTM Well Done

Next week we have a very winner-able game so i want us to come out from the start in each half. See you at training on Wednesday.
