The Maroons are a half decent side. That half is usually the first and from there, well we have to work out what's going wrong quickly or it's going to be a tough old season. We've been in the contest in all four games at the break, but have lost three from four.
We were outplayed on the ground but did enough against Figtree in the first period, going behind after half an hour to a penalty. Ant's first of two goals followed some excellent lead up play and Gary J narrowly missed two chances, one edging across the goal face and the second clipped agonisingly against the far post in the final minute of the half. Trev also had a one on one with the keeper he might have stuck in and Phil L wafted a chip just wide. Anyway, on balance the 1-1 was fair but we ended the half the stronger. The most annoying part was the ridiculous moaning and whining and arguing between the Figtree No. 10 and No.6 - seriously boys why not just go out the back and sort it out once and for effing all?
The second half started in a blur - they were tearing us apart at will down both flanks and somehow missed two of the easiest chances of any match.
We made a couple of substitutions to shore things up but within minutes the hosts were 3-1 up.
Ant scored a cracker for 3-2 with 20 to play and Gary J was brought down in the box without getting the decision - Paul E got the first yellow of the season in the aftermath.
That was about it though, as we finished with the bare 11, a few of them really struggling with injuries. Figtree scored a couple more which had one good effect - numbers 10 and 6 finally shut the eff up.
