Trees res
faces possibly their toughest test of the season thus
far. PB Wolverton Town Res were the visitors to Stade
De Rickley. PB had previously lost to Poterspury res
a side we should have beaten easily so the attmosphere
in the changing room was upbeat and enthusiastic,
everyone felt that we could turnover a side had hammered
us in pre season and were undoubtedly one of the title
favorites.
Trees started
well for a change and should have been 3 up within
10 mins with Jay and Rusty missing guilt edged chances.
Walshy eventually made our dominance count with a
free kick floated in to the far post that PB's keeper
got caught underneath and the ball nestled in the
top corner.
This should
have been the signal for us to get more and we came
close with a couple of efforts only for a long ball
down the middle to catch out Dave and Sean which their
quick forward latched onto and finished well. PB scored
again as Trees were in a bit of dissary for 10 mins
at the back.
JAy equalised
with 5 mins of the first half left eith a neat stike
across the keeper into the far post from the edge
of the box.Cloggsies half time teamtalk focused on
us getting closer and dealing better with the long
ball that PB were playing. 10 mins into the half trees
found themselves 4-2 down from not getting close to
their midfield and not dealing with the long ball
well enough.
Cloggs
made a few changes and we started to get back on top
with some good chances that should hasve been finished
from Rusty and Trigger in particular. With 10 left
the ball popped around the PB box and fell to Trigger
who belted the ball home from 18 yards with his right
peg. Looked like if we were going to get anything
from this game it'd be done the hard way. alas it
wasn't to be as luck desserted us again when PB cleared
off the line.
Another
game we should have won only for poor finishing to
let us down. But soon luck will be on our side and
someone will get hammered by a completely rejuvinated
reserve side that will be pushing for the title if
this game and the previous one are anything to go
by.
GAFFA SAYS
If we keep playing like this we will be in the shake
up at the end of the season. MUST be more ruthless
in front of goal. all in all though a good performance
again that we deserved more from. MOM- Walshy
