Another commendable squad performance
Lads, another hard-working display on Sunday
and although disappointing that we conceded two goals and let the oppo
back in, the facts are that we remain undefeated this year, have the
biggest, fittest, bravest and strongest squad (not sure about the
handsomest) and are getting better week on week.
Another
sterling effort by Karl in nets and he made several brave and acrobatic
stops to keep parity. All agreed his confidence is up and he's
flourishing- 'can you imagine how good he could be if he came to
training?' someone (anon) was heard saying afterwards!!
Defence
had another tough and challenging game and had to deal with many
crosses, high balls and over the tops and did really well to keep a
clean sheet until well into the second half. Much better and organised
on set pieces incl. corners and kept possession better. I thought
Francis was the pick of the bunch and was a goliath in defence. The OG
was terribly unlucky and the second was probably my fault by not
tracking back. I still think we sat too deep at the back and this causes
undue pressure!
In Midfield Jimmy gave a 'best on pitch'
contribution and demanded positive and constructive comments as well as
calm amongst the increasingly excitable Maroobs Masters! (No names
mentioned NP and DB!!) There were some excellent in-swingers that we
didn't take advantage of but we looked threatening and on another day
there would have been a few goals.
In the centre of the park I
think we had a better, tighter second half but there is still done work
to be done on the formation. Selim had a cracking game and and is
frighteningly quick for a 65 year old!
Big thanks again to
Luke who did what we expect him to- scored multiple goals! Decent
looping header from Dazzas cross and a lightening snapshot that flew
into the top of the net before 'fatty in nets' could react!
Someone mentioned that Graham had a shot on goal but I think we all missed that one.....
Solid
squad performance throughout a tough game and hopefully everyone
enjoyed it. Thanks to Frank for logistics, Yoshi for reffing & beers
and the sideline contribution and support of Den and Rod!
See you on Wednesday!
