A really good all round performance …

Today’s squad

Frankie, Jack , Tom, James, Hyde, Max, Saul, Connor, Jed, Gabe, Harry, Edonis, Arlind, Lotjan and Polly

Nick wanted you to start well and you all did. I felt we won the midfield battle early and that set the tone of the match. Also we wanted you to keep the ball and play out to the wings which you did.

The first chance came Harry on the left crosses the ball to far post and orange socks Jed was a whisker from heading it home.

Another was when Saul won the ball in the middle went to shoot but he scuffed it the shot fell to Connor who cut inside and scored . However the goals was given as offside which a few of you said he wasn’t .

From the resulting free kick the ball was played long and their forward got past two of you and round Frankie and looked certain to score. However he overrun it and as Hyde got back he threw himself to the floor and the referee booked him for diving.

Frankie took the goal kick but miss hit straight to the forward who again looked favourite to score but Frankie made a fine double save and the danger was cleared

Almost straight away we punished them for the miss Jed won the ball and played in Gabe who stroked the ball into the net 1 : 0 after 15 mins

The next 15 you really took the game by the scruff of the neck

Good work in midfield between Max and Connor led to Saul driving forward and shooting into the bottom corner. 2:0

Jed decided to get in on the long range shooting and won the ball then surged forward to score 3:0

Soon it was 4:0 Saul again from range and that Half Time.

Second felt a bit flat at the start and after 15 mins you paid the price as you switched off at a corner and it went straight in 4 : 1

Slowly you got back on top as you upped your game . Polly played the ball to Harry and some really good work at the byline played the ball across goal. The keeper slipped and Gabe scored form 1 yard 5:1

The last 20 minutes and you were fully in control . A long ball from Edonis found Gabe who controlled it well went round the defender and scored a really good goal 6:1

More chances came Saul hit the post , Polly put the ball in the net but was given offside, Max was unlucky with a header from a corner. 6:1 FT

MoTM

I thought you were all excellent today, Max had an all action first half covering every blade of grass, Gabe for getting a hat trick, but today Saul was back to dominant midfield enforcer and scored two great goals.
