The Harder The Battle The Sweeter The Victory!!!

<p>I think this game was just the reality check we needed to help us re-focus and understand that every game next season will be alot harder then last season. The blame culture that sometimes&nbsp;creeps into our game when things are not going to plan is something I Despise and and will do my best to Eradicate but I will need&nbsp;everyones help. No good will ever&nbsp;come of getting on a teammates back and puting them under pressure and people in glass houses really shouldn't be thowing stones!&nbsp;

<p>We Started the game quite well with a experamental 4-3-3 formation that created some good chances for us to go ahead. Unforunatly we did not take those chances and Whitefoot slowley came into the game. By Playing the 4-3-3 in soon became aparant that their fullbacks were having to much of the ball and created a few chances for thir teammates. We made 3 changes bringing on two Wide players to counter that threat. Whitefoot opened the scoring shortley after with a lovely taken Left footed strike from outside of the box. Some of our players heads dropped and the blame game showed its ugly head. After missing a few sitters in the opening exchanges Mr Rawlings Then found the Target with a well taken effort after being put through by Doyle. The game then got a bit messy with nither team able to take control of things and both teams missing a few more chances. The Ref was not the best but did not deserve some of the criticism he was getting mainly from their players. I think in the end thier constant&nbsp;badgering of the ref at every oppertunity played into our hands.

<p>At Half time we all had a frank dicussion &&nbsp;got some things out in the open that needed to be said.

<p>In the Second Half I feel we hit the ground running and united as a team, nobody got on anyones back and we really upped our game and battled&nbsp;for one another. We knoked the ball around better and built from the back instead of hitting long balls&nbsp;up the pitch to their strogest two players @ CB.&nbsp;Our second goal was coming and we started to take control of the match,&nbsp;Mr Humm won a freekick just inside their half on the left hand side and Mr Fawcett Stepped up to deliver a wonderfull ball into the box for Mr Doyle to make it 2-1 with a&nbsp;header, YES you heard right Doyle and header in the same sentance lol.&nbsp;We created more chances after that and controlled things well which upset&nbsp;the other team, they continued to give te Ref Greif and eventully had a man sent off for foul play. Not&nbsp;long after that Mr Rawlings wrapped things up with his 2nd of the morning with a nice solo goal curled into the far corner after cutting in from&nbsp;the right.

<p>Massive credit to Whitefoot for giving us a proper workout and hard Game.

<p>I was Very pleased with how everyone&nbsp;reponded in the 2nd half and i hope we can carry that Fighting Spirit and togetherness into our next 3 friendlies and then into the season. No one was awarded MoM&nbsp;this week as everyone who voted&nbsp;voted for&nbsp;a different&nbsp;teammate which is a credit to how you all performed. Win as a TEAM or Lose as a TEAM we'll do it together&nbsp;AS A TEAM!!!&nbsp;
