Panthers 6 vs 2 Bourne Blade Foxes

<p>Hook panthers 6 vs 2 Bourne blade foxes.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />Last game of season with JC and SD missing, HJS unbeaten record<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />remained intact. Captain was RD today.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />After pre game chat that included 'let's get a good start', we were 1<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />v 0 down within 10 seconds... It then seemed to take 4-5 mins for the<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />boys to wake up. Once they woke up, I have to say some of the football<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />that played was a real pleasure to watch....Lots of composure on the<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />ball, with support play so that players had options when it came to<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />passing.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />There were some good goals scored today from RD (2), ON (2),<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />JF and TH. However, there were plenty of other opportunities that<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />we didn't quite convert with the Bourne goalkeeping doing very well.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />With one or two occasions, a little less passing would probably have<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />resulted in more goals.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />Once we got to 5-1, team was shuffled around. &nbsp;OK and TH became the strike pairing with the home crowd<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />willing them to open their season accounts. TH finally managed it<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />after a lovely 1-2 with ON and er mild celebrations followed ...:-o<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />&nbsp;OK was oh so close, but the ball never quite ran for him... next<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />time OK. &nbsp;I really loved the fact that the boys seemed to help OH<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />and TH on the scoresheet... That to me was real team and Panthers<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />spirit in a nutshell.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />Composure at the back was very good times, particularly from OK in<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />the second half. JF likewise and played some good balls down the<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />line. SR was laying the ball back and looking for support..JR<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />did his usual surging work on the right hand side and put in a couple<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />of lovely passes. I think it was also JR that nearly scored a<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />header from another high quality cross from RD. ON linked up<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />really well, getting the ball up front and then looking up for the<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />supporting players.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />Disappointment was we sometimes ended in a bit of a football scrap,<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />with players sometimes not being as positive as they should with high<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />balls in particular.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />End of the match, message to the boys was it is so much easier if you<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />keep possession...<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />RE command of the goal area was very good, lots of talking<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />(shouting) to his defenders and some super kicks both off the ground<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />and some big kicks out of hand..He also soldiered on after a very<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />nasty looking collision with the Bourne striker.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />Lovely way to complete the league season. Thanks for the super support today.
