Football is a funny old game so they say , well I say it's hilarious . We played a fernwood side today who gave us a right going over at the start of the season ,today it was a different story .im going to start with what I would say is the goal is the season . Perfection from the first to last pass . From a fernwood attack we hunted down the ball as a unit , Powerful ,physical tackle from Dylan coming away with the ball and under massive pressure himself played a lovely wide pass into Jacobs path who shimmied past his marker taking the ball to the corner flag , he whipped in a hard curling cross into the path of James who could do only one thing and took the ball in his stride with both feet off the ground volleying in an unstoppable shot from about 6 yards nearly lifting the goal off the ground . I'd say he enjoyed that moment as did the whole team , best goal at this level you'll see......anyway the game began and as we have in previous games we played at a good tempo with slick on the ground passing that were causing a few problems , we were getting corners but for some reason just can't convert them to goals . Fernwood were themselves plugging away but not really causing us any great danger . Our formation was good and again we were very disciplined in keeping it . Any lost balls were hunted down and we attacked as a unit .. The first half was surprisingly 0-0. Second half began evenly with most the play in the central areas . I told the lads to keep attacking as a unit of 3 or 4 and we will create chances as their defence always likes to go forward with the ball rather than pass their way out and all we would need is one good tackle. This plan worked for us as the fernwood defender did that little bit to much with the ball and was dispossessed by our captain Kai (who was still only 75% fit) , he played a through ball to James , who on this seasons form isn't going to miss to many chances ,under pressure he simply pushed it past the oncoming keeper ,1-0 us. The game was quite even with not a lot of goal chances coming either way . Our defence looked rock solid again but a fernwood goal did come . To say it was a soft goal is an understatement , a through ball that was being contested by Sam and the fernwood winger ending with both leaning into each other and both ending up on the floor , the ref gave a penalty even though there was no appeal from players or supporters , Ok I thought you can't say it we used a dodgy ref, I didn't disagree but deep inside I knew it was a soft decision 1-1 . We went again and looked the more likely to get some kind of positive reaction , their goal didn't alter the way we played , no panic , pass pass pass, then came that wonder goal from James and I thought that would be enough It wasn't and for the only time in the game we didn't defend properly , didn't clear when it was harder not to, we gave away a really sloppy goal , I was really sorry for our lads as I feel we deserved a win on the overall way we played but fair play to the foxes who never gave in ... Our mom was Sam who was again a rock , over thoughts..... I was a little disappointed we didn't win but again we gave a good team performance and all 9 players ,Tom , Jacob C ,Dylan , Sam , Finley , Isaac ,Kai , James , Jacob P have all excelled in what is a great effort in turning a season around ,,,, the attendance was , I don't know but there was a lot of banshees there ,,,,, ,Elbasso
