Plumtree 2 vs 1 Nottingham United A

<p>A hard fought win for the mighty Gladbach as we move towards the business end of the league.&nbsp;

<p>Plumtree started slow, seemingly content to sit back and watch the dangerous Nottingham United knock the ball around and play some good football.&nbsp; This soon resulted in Nottm Utd taking the lead when their left winger danced through a few tackles before unleashing a belter of a shot outside of the area, beating Roscoe and flying into the top corner.

<p>Plumtree continued to whether the storm (and the wind!)&nbsp;with Matt and Josh trying to take the pressure off by making good runs through the channels to put the pressure back on the opposition.&nbsp; We were unlucky not to be level inside 15 mins when a lovely corner from Jamie found Josh at the back post whose diving header put the ball in the net, only to be ruled out for pushing in the box.

<p>Soon after, our midfield started to take a control of the game, closing down their midfield quickly and strong tackles started to come in.&nbsp; Following a ball over the top, Matt pressurised the Nottm defence, nicking the ball off one, bustled his way through a couple of more challenges to lay the ball onto Josh in the box, who coolly slotted home to level, giving the new signing 3 in 2 games.&nbsp; We continued in the same vain to half time, starting to move the ball well and it was a team move and great work from Josh and Jamie on the right which resulted in Plumtree's second.&nbsp; Jamie once again showed his class in distributing the ball when a lovely cross put dangerously into the box, Matt attempted a Rooney esque overhead kick (failing miserably!), but blushes were spared when Angles followed into the area, controlling the cross well and buried the ball in the back of the net.

<p>The second half was a battling display and Plumtree were supported with the wind.&nbsp; However a spirited Nottm display ensured a close finish.&nbsp; Plumtree's defence on the day though was resolute and limited Nottm's chances to few.&nbsp; A great result against a good team who will surely be there or there about's at the end of the season.

<p>This was one of those games where the whole team worked superbly together and gave it their all.&nbsp; Some notable displays, Dino on his return, hardly missing a tackle or the opportunity to go in hard, Dean Hyde, a terrier in midfield constantly in the Nottm team faces, but Man of the Match goes to Angles.&nbsp; A quality display in midfield, up and down the left wing, attacking and supporting Dino at the back and a great goal to top it off.
