Controlled the game , but we made it tighter than it should of been…..

Today’s Squad Frankie, Jack, Morris, Edonis, Ollie, Max, Saul, Connor, Tommy, Jed, Harry, Lotjan, Sam, Gabe, Arlind and Daniel

We started the game really well Jed caused instant pressure on the defence and won a corner. Harry’ corner was delivered into the six yard box and some how the ball did not go in even though we had like four attempts

With five minutes gone they broke down the right and the ball was deflected for corner. The ball came in and hit Frankie in the chest bounced out and was hit back into the goal 1.0

Heads didn’t drop and we were soon pressing for the equaliser Jed ran down the middle and in my view was taken out. … not given unfortunately he got injured and came off for the rest of the half.

Chances will still coming and Gabe was unlucky with a shot from range as soon as he came on .

After 25 mins we won a cOrner Harry delivered and Max rose highest in the box to head home 1.1

From here I felt we were in control of the game Edonis and Morris started to dominate in the centre of defence and Saul began to win the ball in the middle allowing Connor and Max to get the ball forward to the attacking 3.

With twenty mins gone we got another injury with Lotjan turning his ankle blocking a shot on goal. he was out for the rest of the game.

The last twenty we were pushing to take the lead but could not get the final ball right HT 1.1

Second half you started where you left off from the first with Jed creating early chances only to hit it wide.

Sam was causing problems down the left. He picked the ball up and ran into the box. the full back lunged into the tackle and a definite penalty . Morris placed it on the spot and smashed it past the keepers left 1:2

Sam though hurt his hand and could not play much more of the second half.

The next 25 minutes I felt we could of scored on nearly every attack. We were finding so much room in the middle that Harry and Connor started to dictate the Game.

Chances came often Daniel hit a great shot that the keeper saved well. Jed and Harry created loads of half chances and the ball would just not fall right for us.

Gabe created a couple of chances both very similar good run down the right and cut back to Saul and Connor both chances just didn’t fall for us and went wide.

Would we pay for these ?? Nearly did !!! They broke down our right the striker hit a shot across and Frankie dived to his left and got a firm hand to push it out with Ollie to clear.

Another chance for us as Saul and Jed broke quickly from a corner with some great football and I felt Saul was bound to score only to pull it wide.

Connor hit a shot soon after that just went over the top right corner.

Edonis also hit a shot that just dipped late but went over the bar

Last ten minute and it gets a little nervy. We should of been at least 4 up and now they got a few chances first Tommy cleared a weak shot off The line and then a few minutes later they hit the post the ball bounces out they shoot again this time Ollie makes a fabulous headed clearance off the line.

Still we had chances to put the game to bed but didn’t take them. Last minute they win a corner everyone went up including the keeper , however no panic as the corner hit the side netting and FT 1:2

MoTM some really good performance today Arlind had a good game working hard in the middle of the pitch when required, Edonis and Morris worked well in the centre to keep chances down, today though Connor won MoTM worked hard in midfield he cleared a certain goal in the first half , closed down and harried the opposition , but mainly it was the space he created in midfield to transition into attack quickly keeping us pushing forward to create chances . Well done

Training is on Wednesday . I think Nick is looking to meet At 8pm so keep a eye out

Well done all that was a deserved and really good win . Although we should of killed the game off much earlier
