Manning picks up a yellow for stop[ping another counter. We're getting more vulnerable to that has the half has progressed. While at the same time, not getting anywhere near as many chances ourselves. We;ve managed to tire ourselves out attacking. 🙂

Edozie gets back for the challenge. Well done, as earlier in the season, he left his player on occassion. Pacy and we needed that, as we've taken a couple of breakaway chances at the back tonight.

Adams right there on the back post for a tap in. Couldn;t reach him.

KWP does really well. Smallbone in the correct position. But that final ball didn;t have enough pace on it. It's, again, that final ball, Sometimes feeling it's enough to get it into the right area, without quite getting the pace, accuracy quite right. Another very tight offside there. Smallbone picking up Charles' obligatory yellow card.

They are even more compact now. A little foray to test our gap on the flank. AA is, if anything, too far back. we need a clone of him to be in a forward position too.

Bednarek capable and composed. Having that solid foundation with THB makes such a difference to how much we can push up confidently.

Smalbone in a solid shooting position. But he was always covered. Could have done with AA on stilts to get on the end of that header.

There's been a bit of chat about how we've changed and developed our system. But we're occassionally still only a Smallbone outpacing their attacker away from it being a 1-1 with Baz. Our opponents are usually just happy to get it clear of late, so haven;t capitalised and we're aware of it being a weakness.

Decision makeing form Edozie. He did well to get that space to put a ball into the box. We had people there. He chooses to cut back again instead, and it comes to nothing.

Beeb had us at 82% possession.

Lovely call from Edozie and a good pass to him. He might not have had the control, but still willing to take his man on. COuld do with one falling to an Adams (not a tap in) or AA to get us in front.

Adams a mile onside there.

Super from Bednarek. Manning had done an overlap for Edozie (who ignored it, and never seemed likely to use him). But when Alcaraz's pass got intercepted, we had plenty of space at full back. Bedders handled it really well. Another one from us across the face of goal. Any runner at any time would put one of these away.

Oooooh. Lovely ball in from Charles. Really needed a runner at the back post.

Smallbone not falling for this end to end stuff. Gets the ball, asseses the options, swirls round and plays it back. Allowing a better ball to get to Edozie on the other side. Nice and simple, but good control.

A weaker effort from Manning there. Still, after attacks form everywhere else, a central, direct effort would have kept them on their toes if it had some pace to it.

Edozie did so well to take that ball in his stride. But for all the cutting in, he managed to pick out one of the few areas we didn;t have a player. We need a bit more accuracy with that final delivery. They all know where they;re supposed to be in the first two thirds of the pitch. Just that last bit.

Gah! THB off the post! I thought that was going to go in off the post.

Best finisher of disallowed goals in the league. Meh on their player picking up a yellow. Seemed a little harsh. Edozie and Alcaraz linking up well today. But as we're on the attack, we have a bit of a race to prevent one of their counters. We're alert enough, but a goal will always help 🙂

Alcaraz got the ball off of Charles. Charles picking up that position where he shot form in a previous game. Alcaraz did well to get a shot off after that.

KWP getting right through their defence. Just those final deliveries into the middle. We probably need another runner picking up in there, but we've everyone else back involved in the moves.

Nice passing there. Good work from Smallbone to win it back and composure from Edozie and Alcaraz. Always good to see the youngsters do those things well.

Offside for Adams! Really close one. Shame. Nice finish. AA with a long range chip! Trying to outdo Edozie's cheeky back heel! Good start.

AA with a good run. Adams did all he could to put that down into a lovely central spot. But we had noone else with that sriker's instinct. Smallbone was a bit further back. Edozie looking to take on his fullback again too.

2 - 0 to us! COYR!
