CPR Raiders 1 vs 0 Panthers

<p>One nil a fair result based on the possession and opportunities for<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />both teams. We were often on the back foot and relied on scraps to<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />create chances...<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />Delayed kickoff due to pitch frozen but started to soften with 30 min<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />delay. However, pitch dictated the first half as the ball flicked up<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />with random bounces. we tried to pass the ball on it before ko and it<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />was really tricky to get ball under control. Players needed more time<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />and space to get ball under control and there was little to be had.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />Goal conceded after striker fell over and free kick given. Good strike<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />for 1 - 0 lead...scarely a pass insight in the first half with little<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />movement off the ball and very few players looking to receive the<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />ball...RE pulled off a great save in first half..<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />Second half was a little better with a little more intensity but still<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />the quality and the desire to receive the ball under pressure was<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />missing. We never looked like equalising and I didn't really recognise<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />the team representing Panthers..

<p>Team didn't really turn up today, but not surprising given the circumstances. Boys all fit and well afterwards...
