21 Oct 2012 - Swindon Supermarine J (A)

WOOTTON BASSETT STARTED OFF SLIGHTLY OUT OF SHAPE AND CONSEQUENTLY A QUICK GOAL WAS WON BY SUPERMARINE. 1-0 WE GRADUALLY STRENGTHENED OUR POSITIONS AND LIAM PUT UP A STRONG BATTLE IN DEFENCE ALONGSIDE KORBEN, WITH SOME GOOD BALLS SEEN OUT OF PLAY. WE GOT A BIT SLOPPY. INSTEAD OF GETTING IN THE GAME AND WINNING THE BALL BACK WHEN NEEDED, WE BEGAN TO QUESTION EACH OTHER AND DEBATE WHERE WE SHOULD BE AND WHAT TO DO. THIS DISRUPTION SEEMED TO CAUSE ANOTHER BATCH OF POOR PERFORMANCE AND ANOTHER QUICK GOAL FROM SUPERMARINE. 2-0 DURING THIS TIME OUR HEADS DROOPED AND OUR DEFENCE LOST ITS RESILIANCE. LEWIS WAS FORCED TO MAKE LOTS OF SAVES, WHICH HE DID SUPERBLY, AS THERE WERE MANY SHOTS TAKEN BY SUPERMARINE, AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.WE MANAGED TO PULL OUR HEADS UP AND MOVING FORWARD BEGAN TO LOOK KEEN AND LIKE WE WANTED THE WIN. THE BALL WAS IN SUPERMARINE GOAL END, A MISTAKE FROM THEM, AND A WELL READ MOMENT MEANT RAISHAM TOOK A SHOT, BRINGING THE SCORE TO 2-1 WE WERE BACK IN THE GAME, WITH SOME GREAT CORNERS, AND SOME BETTER PASSING BETWEEN ROBBIE, KAI, RAISHAM AND CALLUM, BUT WE JUST WERE NOT PRECISE ENOUGH TO FINISH ANY RUNS OFF. SOME GOOD SHOTS ALSO, BUT JUST NOT QUITE ENOUGH FORCE TO GET THROUGH SUPERMARINE DEFENCE. HALF TIME WE PICKED UP OUR GAME, THE DEFENCE WORKED HARDER, WITH WILLIAM AND MIKEY TRYING HARD IN TURN. WE STARTED COMMUNICATING BETTER. CALLUM TOOK A LOVELY STRONG SHOT BUT HIT THE CROSSBAR. KAI TOOK A FREE KICK AFTER CALLUM WAS BROUGHT DOWN, WHICH HAD GOOD POTENTIAL, BUT THIS TIME WAS JUST OVER THE CROSSBAR. CONSIDERING SOME OFF THE PLAY TODAY NOT A BAD RESULT, HOWEVER HAD WE PLAYED A CONSISTENT GAME AND BEEN IN IT FROM THE START IT COULD HAVE BEEN OURS!
