Rushmoor Saints Sharks 2 vs 0 Panthers

<p>Slightly new formation this week with 3-3-1-1...with 3 midfielders<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />rather than 2 ( and 2 wide).<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />In front of shot stopping RE in goal, the defense of skipper JR,<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />OK and JF were excellent. The positions and lines they held were<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />far more in tune with where the play was. The starting midfield trio<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />of TH, RD and EH competed very well in the midfield with excellent passing<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />combinations.. EHE and JC played the forward roles. JC playing<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />Central Attacking Mid role and EHE striker... ON and GW then<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />came on to perform the striker and CAM role respectively..<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /> Great freekick from JC and some strong shots by EHE were well<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />saved by the very impressive Sharks keeper..Panthers passing game with<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />extra player in midfield giving them majority possession but sharks well<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />organised. Sharks countered at speed but only got through once in<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />first half..<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />Nil nil at half time against Premier Sharks but Panthers looking<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />impressive.. However we expected a challenge into the wind in second<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />half..ON (mom) was having a super game in forward roles - passing<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />and taking on players. Making decisions early...EHE pace was a<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />concern for Sharks so they doubled up on him.. GW and JC both<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />asked to play in midfield. Both applied themselves well considering<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />these are not roles that they are used to..GW was sporting some<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />cool stitches in his head (from earlier in the week), yet he didn't<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />flinch..<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />In the end we were undone by an interception in defense that led to<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />sharks scoring. A second goal whilst chasing the game occurred.<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />Disappointing goal as we had chances to clear and then a player turned<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />his back when an easy clearance was on..note we didnt score any goals<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />which was the main issue!!<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />Other strong performance was RD, fantastic tackling in midfield<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />and defense as well as driving the team forward.. Seemed to have more<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />freedom.
