WARMLEY ‘B’ 1

 

Back on pitch 8 for this our second home game of the season and the weather turning wet. New signing Charlie Frampton was brought in and we welcomed the return of Michael Payne. Nathan Dawson was still out with injury.

Warmley had lost 10-1 the previous week so our thoughts turned to concentrating on not conceding and playing controlled football without getting carried away. This proved important as Warmley were well organised. It wasn’t too long though to wait for the first goal, a great individual effort from Brad Monelle. Once again though we switched off when defending. In an open play attack and from a weak cross that was cleared out to the edge of the box, the Warmley forward hit his shot on target, it took a deflection over our keeper Craig Francis and brought them level. We overcame this set back though and another good corner from Mo Bouaziz gave Oli Randall a header to put us back in front. Just before half time we were awarded a penalty for hand ball and Jordan Knight coolly slotted home our 3rd goal of the game. A 3-1 lead at half time which was no more than we deserved.

We were again strong in the second half but just couldn’t convert our opportunities. Both Craig Andrews and Brad Monelle were playing well up front and the introduction of Charlie Frampton in attack gave us another option. It was in Midfield though where we were really playing well and Oli Randall and Mo were moving the ball around very well on the tight pitch. Our 4th goal came from a good strike from Brad Monelle which was followed up by Kyle Curtis who side footed home the keepers save.

A very convincing win, just a little disappointed we conceded, but we were now clear leaders in the division with 7 points out of 9.

Todays Man of the Match was awarded to Oli Randall who played very well in Midfield and was involved in almost all of our open play.
