MATCH REPORT
A game of two halfs was certainly an understatement in gameweek 6!
The first half the Blues were well on top. With a lot of defensive minded players on their team they opted for the 3 at the back formation with the wider players supporting the front 2 with runs down the wings. This paid dividends as the Blues stormed to a 4-1 lead with Dim and John linking well and also scoring some great individual goals. The wingbacks were providing that 3rd man to support the front 2, particularly Ryan who was having a stormer.
The Blues looked very comfortable but the Reds hadn’t started well at all. They were sloppy in their play, getting beat easily and not putting in the tackles. If it wasnt for Ell with that pace up front and Bryan holding the ball up well they wouldn’t have scored at all.
Ste and Balf started off slow by their standards, but they got better and better as the game went on, which helped the Reds get into the match. The Reds were starting to play some much better stuff and put the Blues on the back foot.
A couple of quick goals from El and Balf and suddenly they were right back in the game. A much more even contest.
Dim then went in goal for the Blues and Andy was pushed into an attacking role, he scored a few decent goals and Blues got their lead back. Dim then came back out and the Blues restored their comfortable lead of 4 with Nate and Ryan chipping in. The Blues looked like they were going to manage this game and come away with the win.
But then the game flipped on its head in a big way with 20/25 minutes to go. The Blues just stopped working for each other. They were the ones getting beat easily and not tracking the runs. The Reds got more and more confident and they quite fancied pulling this back.
Bryan was solid in goal, Ste was a rock at the back, Martin and Tommy got a lot busier in the centre, Balf and Elliots influenced on the game was increasing with each passing minute.
The Reds scored goal after goal. Balf couldn’t hit a barn door in the 1st half but he was finding the corner of the net in the business end of the game. Elliot was hammering the ball in the back of the net and the Blues were really struggling.
The Blues completely lost their composure and it was starting to become an embarrassing scoreline with the Reds 6 up. They managed to keep it at 6 but they went home in disbelief at what happened.
A superb win for the Reds who never gave up, they scored the goals at will when it mattered, well played. The Blues will be mightily disappointed, this was one that they should have seen out.
Looks like we are in for a brilliant last 4 games of the season!
