A superb performance today resulting in a 4-0 win against a team a league above us.
a change of formation saw us start with 2-3-2-1. trying to utilise the attacking and finishing abilities of Jamie against his old team. new system worked like a treat and we were 1-0 after 7 mins from a corner, which Ben finished from close range (4 in 3 games for him!). 2-0 up after 15 mins as Emre, who should have scored a few mins earlier, buried a hard shot over the keepers head.
The opposition were playing 4 at the back and didn't show an awful lot going forward. anything they did have was quickly countered by strong and organised defending from Zack & Ciaran, helped along by Elliott in a new role at CDM. Elliott produced his best performance of the season and was strong and disciplined throughout.
At half time we reminded the lads about complacency and repeating the same again in second half. they have learnt from their mistakes earlier in the season and carried on their good work. apart from a free kick which Sam caught easily, there was little threat on our clean sheet. Corfe had a little five min spell at the start of the second half but we were soon back on top.
It took us a while to really get flowing again, despite being dominant but hard work payed off about 20 mins in when Jayden found himself strangely in the middle and slotted a shot home into the corner from the edge of the box. lovely finish and I was very pleased as we had worked for ages on improving finishing.
Our 4th goal came late in the game when Xander and Callum combined with gritty determination to not let Corfe clear the ball in their own defensive third. a lovely bit of skill and back heel from Xander set Callum up with just enough space for a looping long shot which went over the keepers head. excellent goal.
a really superb performance all round. every player working hard for each other and supporting each other. and all playing to the team 'philosophy' (if u must).😀⚽️
