Sloppy Day in the Office

Today’s Squad Frankie, Sony, Jack, Edonis, Louis, Arlind, Tom, Jed, Tommy, Harry, Max, Morris, Connor, Hyde and Gabe.

Disaster struck in the warm Frankie realized that his finger was too sore to play in Goal and had to pull out. So Morris went in goal for the first half and Max for the second. Thanks BOYS 🙂

However let just say i witnessed the most awful 25 mins of the season so far. They scored from a corner where no one marked. 0.1 Five minutes gone.

The next twenty we gave the ball away , didn’t pass to our men, didn’t tackle, in fact you did nothing !!! The highlight of the first half was a couple of fantastic saves from Morris to keep it at 0.1. We manged one real chance when you broke quickly and Harry found Max free whos shot at goal went just wide. A scramble in the box didnt fall to us we ended the first half more in control but still the goal behind HT 0.1

Second half started and Max was in goal much better and Jed picked the ball up in his own half and burst forward. His run took him into the box and he calmly fired past the keeper 1.1

Now you were more in control of the game and looked dangerous in attack with pressure mounting we looked the more likely to score and it was to be. Good work from Jed down the left. Morris overlapped and played received the ball in the box, he played the ball to Tom who passed once more to Gabe who smashed it home 1.2

Whilst we looked much better going forward we kept over committing and sitting too deep and gave them chances. Harry had a good shot saved by the keeper from outside of the box and Edonis had a header from a corner cleared on the line.

Soon it was Max’s turn to show his goalkeeping skills with a fantastic save from a free kick, however joy was not to last anither free kick a couple of minutes later and a flick at the near post ended up in the net. 2.2

Still you pressed but again went sloppy at times giving the ball away far too easy and it was from a mistake they broke and ran through the middle and slipped the ball past max as he came out. 2.3

Last ten minutes we played with 4 up front and 3 at the back as it was cup game the ball seemed to bounce in the defence favour so many times. Last minute of the game Tommy picked the ball up played it forward to Connor who ran between two defender. He just got to the ball first and poked it past the on rushing keeper, we all held our breath to see if extra time loomed but it was not to be as it drifted past the post. FT 2.3

MoTM : Very difficult today as no one stood out so i will give to Morris and Max for going in goal in a time of need and both made a couple excellent saves. Thanks Boys
