" I would have saved that".. announced Geoff, arriving even more fashionably late than usual , as i picked the ball out of the net. 1-0 to Brixton. We had been holding out under pressure against a very good visiting side for 20 minutes before a Brixton attacker curled a shot into the top corner to end the deadlock.
Brixton found the net again soon after - clearly offside, but to general amazement the ref gave the goal.
Geoff took to the pitch, shortly followed by Big Paul, who plugged a big gap in Midfield.
From this point onwards, Southside were at least equal to Brixton. Only Southside's strikers will know how they missed a number of excellent chances to score.
At half time, the mood was positive and Southside went on to dominate the second half. Still we couldn't score, until Mark D surged through midfield and burst the net with a clinical strike from 20 yards out.
We had chances to level the game , but with the clock running down, Brixton scored another disputed goal to make it 3-1.
Southside probably deserved at least a draw, but in truth we should take lessons from the way Brixton played. Their well organised , simple passing game offers a template for us to follow.
A second defeat in a week then, but a much improved performance and much better team spirit than was evident on Monday.
We're at the Dome for the next couple of Tuesdays, before we return to action against a Brazilian team on Monday Septemeber 26th
