1st HALF

 

On paper we knew this was going to be a hard game.  Fry’s start brightly and their shape.  Nicholas Wanderers are passing well and picking out their players.  Fry’s are not quick enough to close down and a Nicholas Wanderers player strikes the ball into the top of the net, Sam had no chance.  Fry’s are chasing the game and a second goal is scored by Nicholas Wanderers.  Fry’s are being drawn into the corners opening space in the middle.  Nicholas Wanderers take advantage and score their third from range.

 

2nd HALF

 

Fry’s kick off, we have altered our shape to play more defensively and to try and catch them on the counter attack.  The plan is working well with Charlie just in front of our defence spreading the ball to the wings.  Mitchell is away down the left and shoots at goal to see it go wide.  Midfield and wings are battling hard, closing down their midfield before they get a shot on goal.  Liam and Harry working hard in defence clearing up the Nicholas Wanderers attacks.  Charlie puts Jamie through on goal, but shot lacks power making an easy save for the Nicholas Wanderers keeper.  Fry’s played a good, solid second half.
