It seemed like the familiar pattern - us dominating but losing a goal And Steve P hitting the post Steve N got injured and went off for the lat 10 of the first half. We went in 2-0 down despite the fact they had only been in our half twice, not helped by Chris H being in goal, though to be fair the finishers were good. Steve N limped into goal for the second half when we rallied with really good performances from everybody. Mike pounced on a deflection from a spoiled shot and Chris H finished neatly from a throw by Chris M. We could have snatched ifrost the end but at least we got a draw.
I think it needs to be said that this was an excellent performance from everyone. The new set up of CM and GT at the back controlled the game and made us play a lot more attacking by pushing two players a lot further up the pitch.
We really controlled the game throughout, and even with 4 outfield players we still pushed the ball around and restricted their chances to a bare min.
The second half was great. Well done SN for stepping into goal and keeping a clean sheet. Our determination really showed as we pulled 2 back, hitting the post and putting them under a lot of pressure.
It would be interesting to see how that formation works with a full team on the pitch for the entire game.
Nice one chaps.
