I don't think getting out of bed early agreed with us yesterday and the extra long grass certainly didn't suit our passing game but no excuses we didn't play well enough to win the game, although 3-1 definitely flattered Dynamoes. We had a lot of possession and were worthy of a draw I think, which would have been the fair result.
I can't remember a shot on goal or a cross into the box in the first 15 minutes, as we kept trying to walk the ball in contrasted with Dynamoes who looked dangerous every time they attacked and soon took the lead with one of their efforts. Things did improve a bit and we did go close with a few chances but not close enough to equalise - 1-0 half-time.
We had even more possession in the second half and created chances but again struggled to find the back of the net. Another threatening attack saw Dynamoes go 2-0 up and then shortly after it was 3-0 with a really lucky (not for us!) goal that took a cruel deflection off our defence and into the net.
At least we got a consolation goal and what a goal it was from George who showed great power and technique to rifle a shot home from way outside the penalty area. George gets the captains armband for next match, not just for his superb goal but also his excellent all round performance, which he consistently produces game after game - well done!
Worth a mention
Francis showed off his amazing ball control and dribbling again and was at the heart of most of our attacks.
To sum up, we beat Dynamoes earlier in the season and were more than capable of doing it again yesterday but our lack of crosses into the penalty area and shyness in front of goal really cost us dear.
This is an area we will be looking at in training tomorrow but in the meantime, grab a football and get out in the lovely sunshine to practice those shots - preferably not against the back of the house, though, as I don't want a load of bills for broken windows! ;-) See you tomorrow chaps.
