[SirHarryHotspur]

No goals but being outplayed so far.

 

[Marty]

Not a good first half at all. Lucky it's still goalless.

 

[mark87]

Better start to the second half. Donley, on as a half-time sub, should've done better from a lovely ball over the top by White.

 

[mark87]

Holy shit we should've scored. Santiago does well to work his way past two defenders, shoots from the penalty spot and it goes straight at the keeper. Terrible attempt after such great work to get into the position he got himself in.

 

[mark87]

Another great breakaway, ball played out wide to John on the right, who plays centrally into the box to Devine just in front of goal but finds himself offside. No excuses there, gotta stay onside.

 

[mark87]

Much better desire from our boys this half.

 

[mark87]

Yellow cards galore now

 

[mark87]

We have a goal disallowed for offside.

Then we have another good attempt when in on goal with Santiago ( I think it was) having a shot saved by their keeper.

 

[mark87]

Should've done better with a free kick into the box, Donley with a free header sends the ball over.

 

[Blake Griffin]

alfie's been sloppy. he's been out for a while to be fair so probably just a bit rusty.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Bundle

 

[mark87]

Good ol' NLD bust up between the two teams at the end

Donley with a straight red for a late challenge, which sparked the fracas.

 

[mark87]

Cesay with a second yellow and is also off.

 

[Blake Griffin]

could've won it with 9 men there.

 

[mark87]

FT 0-0

Game of two halves with the scum having the better of the first half and us being the better team in the second half. A draw is probably a fair result, with both teams missing glorious opportunities to score, Santiago being our player to miss our chance.

 

[Marty]

Encouraging second half, could and probably should have won that.

First half was very poor though.

 

[mark87]

Now onto the u18 game at home to Wolves in the cup, which has just kicked off.

 

[mark87]

1-0 down. Terrible goalkeeping who completely misjudged a cross allowing the attacker to get to the ball in front of him and head into an empty net.

 

[Marty]

Wolves lead, keeper came for a cross and missed spectacularly, beaten to it by a diminutive striker.
