Hart 2 vs 1 NW Phantoms

<p><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />Seems to have been a little while since our last match and no training<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />last week. <br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />I'd clearly got into way too much detail, as confusion reigned in the<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />first half. We were a little light in the first half, seemingly half<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />asleep, second to the ball and standing off. This created space for<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />which hart scored, counter attacking and striking from far out,<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />without any player closing down. Phantoms had plenty of possession but<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />didn't look particularly dangerous on the attack. Halftime 1-0 down.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />Phantoms were playing a team that played long until the final third,<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />but had a terrific striker who was causing real<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />problems. At the start of the second half we conceded the ball too<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />easily up front and often their strikers were running directly and<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />dangerously at our back three. Given that a lot of players were<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />playing in different positions we did look a bit of a mess. Second<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />goal conceded to make it 2-0. With 15-20 mins to go the boys woke up<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />and started to play. They played with the same tempo and pressing that<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />has been the plus point of our season. 1 goal back after some great<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />wide play for HJ that led to a deflection into the goal by the<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />unfortunate defender. We started to really look dangerous,<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />intercepting the long balls out of defence and moving the ball<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />quickly, but just ran out of time.
