MATCH REPORT
This was like 2 games in 1. The 1st 30 minutes it was a really good game of football with both sides trying to shape up well defensively and work the ball.
The Blues probably just edged it more possession and creating some really good chances by working the ball. Ian was definitely looking sharper this week controlling the game in midfield and allowing Balf and Elliot to make the runs.
The Reds were going for the more direct route with Bryan and Mike both pushing high and Dim trying to create the chances.
The Blues found themselves a couple up thanks to some good goals and good defending, especially from the stalwart Tommy. Unfortunately after a hard but fair tackle on Mike, Mike rolled his ankle and this changed the whole game.
Ste was also struggling in net with injury so Andy swapped with Ste so that both teams had an injured keeper.
From then on it was absolute carnage. The Blues had a flurry of goals coming from all angles as Mike was finding it hard to make saves. The Blues had a 5 goal lead and looked like they were going to cruise to an easy victory.
But a combination of Ste being injured and Bryan been in the right place at the right time on several occasions, and the Reds pulled back an unlikely comeback and levelled the scores.
It was a comical passage of play from then on. The Blues seemed to be blasting goals in from their own half, but everytime they scored the Reds hit straight back, mainly through Bryan’s poaching skills. One highlight though was a quality volley from Balf.
Goals were been leaked from all over due to the injuries, even Ryan managed to get on the scoresheet!
In the end the match finished level. A forgettable match really and the second draw in a row. Roll on next week!
MAN OF THE MATCH
Bryan gets MOTM this week with 6 votes. He was the ultimate poacher this week scoring crucial goals for the teams comeback. He also scored a few goals shrugging off defenders and did a brilliant job as the main goal threat up front. Well played Bry!
Remaining votes went to:
Alan with 2
Tommy with 3
Ryan with 1
KEY STATS
Bryan levels his points total with the top two players but due to having less votes he cant stop Mike and Balf remaining captains next week. (Unless Mike’s injury stops him)
Andy and Tommy still remain winless this season, stupid draws! 😂
