The whites continued their charge to the spoon with another defeat yesterday. Honestly we arent that bad a team, we can score goals, just usually for the opposition. Another own goal rocketed into the top left corner brings our total for the year by my count to 4, and 8 penalties against thrown in as well. We have had the good fortune to be awarded 2 penalties, and the maroons did score a couple for us in the first derby, but that doesnt even the ledger.
The goals scored against us yesterday were far from spectacular. The first our stand in goalie forgot he could use his hands and muffed a clearance, the second was a scrappy bundle in from a indirect 3 metres from the box and the third mentioned above. We have no problems moving the ball up the pitch, equal with any team in the league and had plenty of scoring chances, we tend to freeze when in the zone. SteveB had a cracking shot in the first half just go wide from a AB backheel, The midfield all worked hard and gave the forwards some quality ball, and just before he scored SteveB forced a wonder save from a surprisingly agile Figtree keeper.
Doug played his best match of the season, Hucky ran hard up front and the backs marked up well. Mick (sorry Mike, is that short for Tyson?) Charles provided the comedy and violence again and SteveH done a good job as goalie, but honestly didnt have to do much except retrieve the ball from the net 3 times. On a personal note I will spend the off season working on my crosses, no that wasnt a shot from my little run down the left (splendid through ball Mark) but an intended along the ground pass to a screaming Les that was completely muffed. Atrocious.
