A super result today that was well deserved in the sunshine, and moves us up the table. After going a goal behind from an unfortunate defensive (!) header, we worked hard to draw level with a goal from Johan. Shaw took advantage of a bit of weak defence to get a second before half-time. We took great advantage of the slope and the sun in the second half to create lots of chances. Arthur knocked on in from close range and Johan scored again after a lovely through ball from Nick. Tom and Harry both struck the bar. The defence held firm to keep a second half clean sheet.
Good points: creating lots of chances, solid defending second half, and it's good to see the newer players starting to look at home on the pitch
Improvement required: we were very tired by the end - partly the hot weather but also a lack of fitness, we need to challenge for every ball especially from corners/goal kicks.
Captain's MoM (chosen by Johan): Charlie
Coaches' MoM: Nick for defensive midfield work and some nice passing. Special mention to Will Arnold who was unbeatable in his defensive cover role and teaming up nicely with Jonny on difficult through balls.
Training Monday - 7.15 for 7.30 to 8.30 at St Jo's. Our scheduled opponents next week have a cup match, but we have altered another fixture to get some games in while the weather is nice. So, Sunday 9 October - home v Greenmeadow - 10.00am meet for 10.30 kick off As always pls let me know if you can't make it.
