2nd Team Vs Droitwich Spa

This weeks game was against Drotwich.

In all honesty it was a very straight forward game and Droitwich didn't really look like they wanted to be there.

However, although we had most of the pressure in the open period we failed to capitalise on our vastly superior ball possession by not turning it into goals. We had a couple of shorts that Ricky used to get his eye in and try and find out where the goal was (one in particular going towards the corner flag (i know we don't have flags but it helps illustrate the point).

We did maintain the pressure and Tibble found himself in the D with the ball, dazzled the full back with a nifty bit of skill (got clattered round the knee caps for his trouble), pulled the ball back to McNay who was unable to convert. Tibble then went down like he had been shot, had a little whine, only to get up to find we had a short corner (I still don't know what for). This time Ricky had finally got his calibration right and duly dispatched the ball past the keeper - Hurrah. Nothing else really happened before half time 1-0.

Second half started like the first, Old Wulfs having most of the possession, Droitwich failing to close people down, taking an absolute age with any sideline, 16 or free hit they had (can only assume they were playing for time while being in a losing position). However, the difference being we started to convert our chances.

Goal 2 - Nice swift move finding Sam on the top of the D, nice composure, small backlift, ball slightly lifted, arched over the keeper and hit the back board 

Goal 3 - Short Corner, out to Ricky at the top, everyone expeted a drag flick (yawn), instead it was was switched to Ed I have a mahoosive wind up everyone time I hit the ball Hole, who, to everyones disbelief, pushed the ball with pace and accuracy into the bottom right corner. Classy

Goal 4 - Sam got another, can't remember the detail but I'm sure it was good.

Goal 5 - Ricky also got another, but following a review from the dubious goals panel it was awarded as an own goal by the Droitwich keeper and should be scrapped from any end of season awards competition. 

Goal 6 - Then Sam got another, his hatrick goal, cue a lap of honour from, complete with knee slide, robot. He then thanked god, did a back flip and hugged the manager for giving him a chance.

Somewhere in amongst all this Tibble had a break for 2 minutes for another whine about a decision. Nightingale on hearing Chris off you get started to walk despite having done nothing. It's sad times when you take yourself of the bitch based on your own reputation.

Man of the match was a close affair with a number of players getting votes but in the end it was taken by Edwardo Hole.

No DOTD vote but I probably deserve it, one for going down for a tickle on the knee and secondly for another whinge at the umpire.
