It’s a clean slate for all players now, everyone is a contender and as Ryan proved last season you will be up there if you win most of your games. Some people have a point to prove, some want to carry on their fine form.
All I know is Sunday League Football is back and let’s make it another cracker! Let’s have a good game lads!
TEAMS
MATCH REPORT
This was a very similar game to the last game of season 1.
To start off with the game was pretty evenly matched, the Reds were sitting back whilst the Blues enjoyed some possession and it looked like it was going to be a close game.
Elliot started with bundles of energy and he scored some decent early goals but the Reds took full advantage of their chances and kept up to the Blues.
After about 20 minutes the game changed. The Reds were absolutely clinical with their chances with Balf, Martin and John having their shooting boots on. This seemed to really frustrate the Blues as everything seemed to be against them and every chance was finished off by the Reds.
Backed up with a brilliant defensive partnership of Alan and Ryan, the Reds didnt conceed many shots on goal, nevermind any goals as they were tackling and blocking everything the Blues threw at them. When the few shots did get through Andy was making some saves, again to the frustration of the Blues.
After building up a healthy lead the Reds did ease off towards the end and this allowed the Blues to create some good chances and have a sniff of a comeback. To their credit they kept pushing but with the injury to Bryan and disruption to the team, it just wasnt going to be their day.
The Reds to a man all played pretty well and worked well as a team. They pick up the first win of the season. Still a long way to go and plenty of points to play for.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Andy received 6 votes and is this weeks man of the match. Pulled off some good saves at crucial times. Alan should feel unlucky not to be MOTM this week as he was pretty awesome at the back and deserves a special mention.
The remaining votes went to:
Alan with 5
Martin with 1 (thanks Tommy)
Balf with 1
KEY STATS
Alan has received the highest amount of votes in a gameweek without being MOTM.
Balf scored over half of the Reds goals but only received 1 vote, again he might feel unlucky not to receive more
