Hi there.<\/p>\n
Trophy tie for us today against a Northwood team, struggling in the League but having the freedom of the cup with a nothing to lose attitude. Coming to us expecting a tough encounter.<\/p>\n
That it was but from our perspective a very winnable game if we could get to our usual high performance levels.<\/p>\n
We huffed and puffed but didn’t really get going. If I’m honest I felt the boys in general looked a bit weary and our usual pressing wasn’t as effective as it should have been.<\/p>\n
To emphasise this point Northwood’s player had far too much room to attempt a shot. In fairness it was a great effort but preventable. It sailed in over Joe and we were 1-0 down. A little against the run of play but with only ourselves to blame.<\/p>\n
We kept pushing and a nicely worked free kick got us level.<\/p>\n
1-1 at halftime. We considered shaking it up a bit because as previously mentioned we looked as a team “Jaded”<\/p>\n
In my opinion this is when we have to really concentrate on retaining the ball, not forcing play and slowly get back to dominating proceedings.<\/p>\n
We changed the forward line due to an injury to Kaan with bringing Josh Castiglione on the left hand side, pushing Ingers on to his more familiar right side role.<\/p>\n
Josh very quickly made an impact and a terrific run by him resulted in him scoring from inside of the box to get us 2-1 up.<\/p>\n
Although far from being as fluent as previous we found ourselves in the lead and although not pretty should have seen the tie out.<\/p>\n
A uncharacteristic mistake by the normally reliable Danny May led to their equaliser and now a replay for us at Northwood on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
With a lot of our lads nursing niggles we will have to re-Group and go again.<\/p>\n
Hoping for your support once again?<\/p>\n
