Sunny day at leafy lane

Apology for not keeping up with the match reports lately, I have been told off (you know who you are :) )

Today’s game was a beautiful day for football if a bit to hot but it was good to have a nice weekend. The first half started well with Jags being on the front foot but not being able to convert our chance and conceding from melkshams first real attack with a cool finish. We kept our focus and began to build attacks again and scored 2 good goals before half time and looked in control of the game and could of been further ahead. Going in at half time 2-1 up I was confident we would push on. The second half started slow, maybe due to heat and the fact we had no subs after a couple of players didn’t turn up, and melksham were on us straight away pressing up quickly and forcing mistakes. They scored a long range effort which seemed to effect the team and got their heads down. We needed to react and attack the ball better and show melksham we were still up for a game unfortunately with our heads down melksham kept going and attacked well scoring at will, we created a couple of chances but couldn’t put them in the net. The game finished 6-4 to melksham and it probably could of been a bigger scoreline but in the final 5 mins we started trying to play some football which got us 2 goals. A disappointing game in all and one we need to move past quickly on a positive note I was impressed with how Charlie W found a really loud voice and started to give out lots of information and instructions. MOTM today from the players and the coaches went to Jamie who made some great tackles and kept on battling
