TEAMS
MATCH REPORT
Another really close and tense game this week, especially towards the end of the game.
In the first half the match was extremely even with goals being scored by both teams. The Blues probably just edged it with John, Richie and Dim linking up really well up top and scoring some well worked goals.
The Blues worked up a 3 goal lead and for some reason slacked off and tactically lost momentum. The 3 attacking players for the Blues tended to stay forward which left a massive hole in the middle of the park. This left the Reds to pick apart the Blues as Balf, Danny and Ian found themselves 2v1 or 3v2 on numerous occasions and they punished some slack defending.
It has to be said also for all his chat before the game, Bryan came up with one of the goals of the season with a magnificent volley into the bottom corner. The momentum was well and truly in the Reds favour and they found themselves 4 goals up.
The Blues then bucked their ideas up and had a midfielder sat in the middle of the park, which meant the Reds couldnt create chances at will as they had done previously. The Blues had several chances but Ste and Josh defended really well and limited the goals.
In the end the Blues got to within 1 goal but they just ran out of time. They pleaded for more time but the Reds were always going to take the 3 points.
It felt like a massive game in the context of the title race, there really are a number of players who could win it now. Time will tell if this loss has cost Ryan the title, but it was another really good game lads well played all, roll on next week!
For clarification, if 2 people are on the same number of points, the person with the most MOTM awards will be placed higher, after this it’s actual number of votes, after this it’s number of victories. Could be crucial with 4 games to go so wanted to make this clear to everyone.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Unanimously Josh was voted your man of the match this week with 7 votes. He did a proper defenders job making great tackles time after time, blocking shots and heading the ball clear. Josh even chipped in with a couple of goals! He definitely played a crucial role in earning the 3 points for the Reds, excellent game well played Josh.
The remaining votes went to:
Danny with 2
Balf with 1
