I don't think the early KOs agree with us; it was a lacklustre performance today - a far cry from Wednesday's efforts.
We did start brightly and played some nice football creating a few great chances but failed to capitalise on them. It only looked like a matter of time before we would take the lead but then Brixington scored with their first attempt on goal and after that our heads dropped and we looked a different team, one that was devoid of confidence. I'm not sure why going a goal down seems to affect us so much but we do need to learn to shrug it off, continue to play our game and keep our concentration.
Only 1-0 down with the second half still to play I thought we could quite easily turn things round but our lack of desire to win the ball and track players saw us concede 3 further goals, which put the game well out of reach by the time Matthew showed great anticipation in thumping home a loose ball to end the game on a more positive note.
It's a real shame as I genuinely believe we are a better team than Brixington and had we played like we have done for last couple of games we would have won the game quite comfortably. Never mind, it was an off day and wasn't to be so we'll pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and look to put things right in our next game. I'll make sure I don't forget the oranges again too!!!
Captains armband goes to Zak Milling who got himself in some great positions behind their defence but, unfortunately, didn't get the service he deserved. He was also happy to do another stint in goal for his team.
Remember training is at KGV tomorrow (7pm) and there is no money to pay. See you there when we are going to look at our thow-ins to feet, defending/attacking corners and of course SHOOTING! ;-)
