The bitterest pill...
So we finally kicked of in earnest today following our 1-0 win by default last week due to Fairmount failing to put together a team in time. So with a few extra hours on the training pitch under our belts the feeling on the big yellow luxury bus was of confidence , good times and a successful season ahead of us ?.....
With new summer signing Gage just shy of match fitness ( but not shy with the ladies from both schools) due to a paper cut he picked up whilst fumbling for his medical clearance, Lawrence on the missing list and Roger looking tall and composed my defensive trio will have to wait another day to tighten the old back door, but Roger showed today that he has the centre half position very firmly in his hands, a great performance with both his feet , head and his leadership of Noah & Alex was great to see, both full backs played very well today and hustled like Larry Flint on speed- good job lads, great focus through out the game.
In midfield Raul & Diego at times toyed with the opposition , played some great passes, showed some good vision and executed glimpses of their trickery , Jamal & Ernesto being two of the smallest built lads threw themselves in to every challenge as if it was their very last game on earth - great work boys.
Mean while up front Gio & Julio didnt really create much energy together despite many clear chances to play each other in with a simple pass they took their time and found themselves over run with ankle biting defenders, chance after chance went begging. we worked hard, created more chances than our opponents and all our efforts on goal kept their keeper on his toes.
Final thought - We got beaten today by one simple thing, our very simple goal keeper whom twice was looking the wrong way when they scored, call it focus, call it daydreaming, Im calling it just unfair on the other 14 lads who really didnt deserve to be on the end of a 7-0 beating, but we didnt score either so plenty to think about( especially a new goalkeeper).
