Wadhurst 2 vs 0 Foresters 66

A disappointing morning for our fans on the side lines on Sunday.

We made a positive start and had most of the possession, but Wadhurst held firm and we didn’t really have any clear cut chances.  All the play was in the Wadhurst half and they were hitting us on the break.

Their first was a lucky goal as it came off the goal scorer’s shin pad and dropped into the net above JT.  Not the end of the world, as we were a strong enough team to come back into the game.  Wadhurst’s forwards were quick but the defence particularly Joe and Willem had them under control for most of the match.  There seconds resulted from a nice through ball, perhaps either our defence or Jamie could have got to it first, but the snappy Wadhurst player was first to it and finished well.

Rory had a great game in the middle and has been pretty consistent so far this season, George was lively and energetic coming on for the last 20/25 minutes, Bradley worked his socks off, all our players contributed.  Why then we all ask ourselves did we end up losing 2-0?

Maybe just an off day, as we all have them.  We have had our fair share of off days and usually it’s as a result of not doing the simple things right.  As Andy mentioned, it breaks down when we don’t work as a team.  That is both when you have and do not have the ball.  We have a way we want you to play - pass and move and we want you to stick to it for the whole 70 minutes and not panic.

On to the next one lads, you are a great bunch and we are still proud of you.
