What a difference a week makes! You should all be very proud of yourselves; you all played your part in today's victory and it was great to get our first clean sheet of the season. You took last weeks criticism on the chin and did something about it.
Whilst we dominated most of the first half with some lovely wide play by Zac Burnard and Euan Land we struggled to make a breakthrough and went in at half time all square.
Re-energised after the oranges and playing down hill in the second half the game was only going to go one way. We had more shots on goal and Francis Blewett was really unlucky not to score with a couple of great strikes heading for the far corner. The deadlock was finally broken by Zac Burnard who nearly broke the net with absolute thunderbolt of a shot! It was only a matter of time before we got our second and this came from Ollie Banwell with a very cute finish in off the post.
Zac Burnard was awesome today in midfield showing both great work rate and link up play and fully deserves the captains armband next game - well done Zac.
Worth a mention
Francis put in his best performance of the season, despite not playing in his preferred position, giving the team real impetus down the right hand side and Sean Laws put in a real dogged display in the first half and through shear determination made a superb clearance off the line - exactly the attitude Joe and I want to see so please take note! There were also improved defensive performances by Joseph Gray and Ty Pardew.
Well done all!
