Against all the odds we actually started quite well. Alex Howard slotted in seamlessly at centre back and Mark B, on his debut, fitted in nicely at left back. Lee, also making his debut, covered in goal before moving to centre back after Geoff arrived fashionably late. Kebab didn't put us under too much pressure in the first half. We didn't create too much either though, inexplicably resorting to long hopefully balls time and time again.
At half time the team talk was simple - stop chipping at the ref and stop playing long balls. Well, we managed one out of two. Suffice to say that i want only our captain to talk to the ref about decisions in future.
The football in the second half was fantastic - it always is. Loads of effort all round and plenty of quality too. Martin, on his Southside FC debut, was a constant threat up front and deserved a goal - the Kebab keeper read Martin's pen all the way but it was so well placed he couldn't do anything about it. Two well struck goals for Scott and a third goal in three games for Reece took the game out of sight. The contest ended up as 10 a side - the less said about that the better for now, but we will be having a chat about that soon. It was great to see Sam making his return after several months out injured. Big thanks also to Shane who played for both teams.
That's six wins out of eight in the last 3 months and a first clean sheet in 19 attempts. Great stuff.
We're well on the way to being a half decent side - For me though , the most important thing is that we conduct ourselves correctly at all times when we represent our club - we've got a bit still to learn on that count - but i can't fault the effort and the quality of football on show. Well done lads.
