Reality of that first half were that Yateley went for an incredibly
high defensive line that resulted in them to being attacked straight
through the middle provided the Phantoms could stay on side. There
were probably 6 offsides but with a different linesman a few more than
that. Route 1 football, a case of who wins the race. From coaching
perspective the interest areas were whether we could get players
coming from deep and if we could solve the high line. We had a couple
of deep runs from experienced players in midfield, but little else.
Halftime and we changed our plans.
Second half was scrappy as the boys lacked composure, with tendency to
play straight and forward. Some of the decision making was
questionable. We did also try out players in different positions given
the scoreline. Nevertheless there were chances second half that were
not taken, some perhaps due to a lack of real desire and others as a
result of poor technique to protect the ball. Well done to Yatelely, who after a poor start, dug in and then started to play some good football.
Final score 4-0.
