| SS 0 - One Half Wonders 1 16th Oct 2006 |
| This week we played One Half Wonders (OHW’s), a team which was an unknown quantity before the game. All we knew was that they finished 2nd in the division below last season.
The match started badly with the OHW’s taking the lead after one of there forwards beat me and shot into the bottom corner. From my very good angle I thought this was in the box, but the ref didn’t agree and the goal stood. During the early stages of this half we were rang ragged by there two good, quick forwards and they scored another one. At 2 – 0 down we started to come back with some intricate plays resulting in shots from me, Tom & Paul, but alas no goals again. The icing on the cake of this half was a penalty decision for the back pass rule (Dave to Andy to Dave), which they converted. The 2nd half we were more solid and only conceded the one goal, this was due to lack of numbers at the back whilst we were searching for a way back into this match. With this approach we let them create chances and have more space, but also created more shots our self, although none clear cut. Overall a goodish performance and although we were beaten comfortably, we held our own. Next week we play the White Lions and hopefully that should be another 3 points……. |
| SS 1 - One Half Wonders 2 23rd Nov 2006 |
| This week we played One Half Wonders in a crucial match that could decide our fate for this season.
The match started well with us having an equal share of possession and defending resolutely. We did well for the first 10 minutes and conceded a goal after their attacker won a 50/50 ball against me (we both kicked it at once) and it fell to him. He slotted home an angled shot which Dave had no chance with. For the rest of this half it was fairly even with there tricky players being suppressed by us. The 2nd half we continued as we left off, defending well and creating a few chances but not nearly enough. We managed to get the break through after about 5 minutes when a loose pass across field fell to Andy and despite a blatant foul on him, managed to equalise. For the rest of this game we were fighting for our status in this division and looked like we could secure the crucial point. Alas we faltered with 3 minutes to go and conceded a crucial goal. Towards the end of this match it got very niggly, due to the tension. Overall we played well enough with everyone having solid performances and a 1 – 1 draw would have been a fair result. We didn’t create enough chances though, our problem through out the season. |
