Thrapston Town Blues 1 v Ise Lodge Falcons 2
1st Half. Luke(GK), Andrew(Def), Callum(Def), Hayden(Mid),
Alex(For),
James(For)
Started off well defending attacks and then counter attacking.
A break though for Alex presented the chance and as in training
on Saturday Alex pulled the trigger and got the Goal. 1-0
up and really doing well.
Hayden covering the pitch for support with Callum and Andrew.
Callum learning the position and putting in the strong tackles.
Andrew playing good tackles and clearances.
James and Alex holding up the ball and trying to make movement
up front.
2nd Half. Luke(GK), Harry(Def), Callum(Def), Hayden(Mid),
Alex(For),
James(For)
Starting well with control, then getting too confident and
pushing forward leaving gaps. Luke making two very important
saves. Then a free kick outside the box and miss understanding
between direct or in direct saw the goal that brought the
game to 1-1.
Tackling hard and trying to clear the ball a deflection from
a cross put falcons 2-1 up. Still not giving up and further
good clearances left Alex shirt pulled in the falcons goal
area and a resulting penalty given.
However in the heat of the moment I thought at first it was
a free kick outside the box and called Luke forward to take,
then I saw it was a penalty, but I failed to notice that the
ball was placed on the goal line area and not measured as
7 yards from the goal and subsequently the keeper saved it.
I apologise to the boys for not picking up on this and say
that even the Manager makes mistakes, in hindsight I should
have stopped the Penalty make the Ref measure and place the
ball and got Hayden to take.
Finally the only other gripe was that according to my watch
the Ref played over 20 minutes in the second half and just
before the second goal MY watch had stated time up. I will
try to ensuring that in future games are monitored more closely.
Well done boys.
MOM Alex
