The performance in this match was a massive improvement on previous games. All the players worked tirelessly, there was plenty of challenging for the ball and we managed to avoid the usual squabbles when a goal went in. It was obviously disappointing to lose after having been ahead at half time for the first time this season, but it gives something to build on for the next few matches.
It is very difficult to single out particular players for praise because the whole team played at a new level. In addition to those who deservedly won the MOM awards, Peter had a superb first game in goal, Ryan was very strong in the centre of defence, Oli got in some crucial tackles in midfield, Jack created problems for their defence and Luke showed the way in battling hard for the whole game. Dan started to take charge all the way down the right hand side, and Dom did the same down the left, whilst Chris, Jack, Will and Connor all made sure that there were many fewer gaps between the defence and the forwards.
Captain's MOM: Matt J, who had an inspirational game up front, scoring two superb goals and giving the whole team confidence.
Coaches' MOM: Matt R, who had an excellent game in the centre of defence, missing little in the air and on the ground, as well as clearing two goal-bound efforts off the line.
Squad: Will, Luke B, Jack B, Connor, Peter, Oli H, Matt J, Dom, Jack P, Matt R, Ryan (captain), Dan and Chris
