This week we played the Mighty Gooners in a tough fixture, as they won the Eastwood league 2 seasons ago.
The match started well for both teams, with the match being a tight affair, although the Mighty Gooners were doing all the attacking. Their possession and passing paid off, as they took the lead in the 1st half with a well worked clinical goal.
The 2nd half was much the same with no real Sharp Shooter attacks and too many people in our half of the pitch. Despite this we conceded two sloppy goals, which exposed our weaknesses in this league. The only bright spot of the match was the penalty that Paul scored after the keeper broke the back pass rule.
Overall a poor game, but most importantly we learnt a lot from it. Once we get the balance between attack/defence right, then hopefully we should progress. Next week I have a plan, so hopefully we can pick up our first victory. |
