This was a really encouraging start to the New Year. For the first 20 minutes and for a spell in the 2nd half we played some great football - passing, holding up the ball, challenging for the ball. We created some super chances. As Arthur got on the end of Johan's cross for the first goal it looked like Cup upset might be on the cards. A bit of neat passing opened up Tom for an impressive goal in the second half.
Unfortunately we had had a couple of spells before that where we let in too many goals (final score 2-10) - we seem to always have 5 minutes where we let the other team score at will!
If we can play for 60 minutes like we played for the first 20, we will be a hard team to beat in the League. It was nice to see us trying to play some intelligent football.
Lots of good performances today:
Captain's MoM (chosen by Arthur): Tom for passing out of midfield and scoring.
Coaches' MoM: George for an effective man marking task.
Training Monday as normal at St Jo's.
