Report

In truth we were probably unlucky to be one down at half time. They had scored with a header from a corner after about 40 minutes of the match, which wasn't surprising as yet again we were giving away a huge height advantage! However, although finely balanced we had edged the first period and had battled well and made a few decent chances.

At half time the feeling was that we could get back into this game and for the first quarter of an hour shared the spoils. They then got a free kick just outside our box and the direct shot went in, although Colin admitted he should have saved it.

The heads then went down and we were found wanting in a fifteen minute period where they seemed to score at will. Four nil down and game over but we then started passing the ball around and made chance after chance but couldn't convert. Eventually, Matt Newbury’s persistence got him to the bye line where he crossed for young Josh to tap in.

We then proved again that you're at your most vulnerable just after you have scored and within 15 seconds it was 5~1. The last goal was added with a couple of minutes remaining. Personally I think the score line was flattering, individually we played quite well but when under pressure lost our shape and were punished by some good finishing!

We have two tough matches in December; however before hand allow me to print my Christmas wish list:

1. A drawing board
2. A forward who will bag some goals
3. Some help.
