14 - Grrrr
0-1
58 -
Terrence Derrick in for
Hughes-Mason, and
Williams goes off for
Bo Benjamin as we switch to our old 4-3-3 standby.
83 -
Benjamin fights off the defender to center to
Cochrane for the box feed to
Brentton Matthew and the equalizer
1-1
Terribly unlucky not to crush them in the second half. And of course, we're now 2 points behind
Young Warriors.
A handful of players are getting international caps, including their first ones, which is cool.

Cochrane intercepts a deep in their half throw-in and passes to
Kelly Matthew in the box. Three defenders encircle him, so he lays off to
Bo Benjamin for the open score
1-0
70 -
Benjamin runs down a ball to the touchline and passes right to
Hughes-Mason. Shot's slapped, but
Kelly Matthew is there to bury the rebound
2-0
74 -
Abraham for
Henry;
George for
Smith
PotM 8.3 for
Connor Hughes-Mason, 8.0 for
Kelly Matthew, and 7.7 for
Bo Cochrane
We're now in 1st place on GD over
Freemansville. What happened to
Young Warriors? They suffered two shocking early season defeats.

12 - JFC
0-1
48 - Dude is sent off with a red, but we've got no less than six players sitting on yellows.
57 - 4-3-3 Wide, with
Brentton Matthew the lone strike and having
Terrence Derrick and
Jermaine George as attacking AML/AMR wingers
We crash to 4th on that shitshow, and I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do. We should be murdering everyone.

20 -
Benjamin with the corner, and
Henry strides forward to hit his first Fort Road score!!!
1-0
54 -
Hunte shoots a long ball over the header of the defender to
Brentton Matthew. He runs into the box, and three defenders are chasing him, keeper swiveled to guard. Dumb mistake, because it's an easy lateral to
Kelly Matthew translates into an open walk-in. Out are
Cochrane and
Smith for
Williams and
George because I forgot to put
Simon in the subs
2-0
58 -
Benjamin with the swinging free kick into the box, and
Henry is in front of the pack for his second goal
3-0
88 - Eh, whatever.
3-1
Chesley Henry and
Bo Benjamin were set-piece masters today, netting a PotM 9.2 and 8.0 respectively as we jump back up into 1st.

Terrence Derrick is a whiny little bitch and if he keeps complaining, I have no qualms about transfer-listing his ass to dump him this offseason. I'll gladly welcome the reduction in payroll.
13 -
Robinson short laterals to
Cochrane for the give to
Kelly Matthew. He's being blanketed, but managers to pass left to
Benjamin for the return pass into the box and score
1-0
16 -
Robinson passes forward and in to
Kelly Matthew for the quick box feed to
Brentton Matthew. He's destroyed on the tackle and I'm expecting a penalty. None give, but
Smith beats two defenders to the loose ball and drills in the diagonal anyway
2-0
47 - Damn it.
Benjamin off with an injury, so
Nesbitt comes in.
59 - You've GOT to fucking be kidding me!!! Now
Kelly Matthew goes out with an injury
Shift to a 4-3-1-2, with
Cochrane as an AMC,
Simon in as the CM.
76 -
Lewis on for
Robinson
Matching 7.7s for
Gayson Smith and
Anderson Derrick, the latter winning PotM. 7.5 for
Calaum Abraham as we rode our defense to victory despite injuries to two of our strikers.
Bo Benjamin is out 3 months and Kelly Matthew is out 2 months. Fuck these assholes.
Great.
Connor Hughes-Mason is out 2 to 3 months. Good thing we loaded up on depth, because these injuries are hitting us HARD.
Kelly Nesbitt then goes down for a month,
giving us just one healthy striker.

4-4-1-1 is our formation for this one, thanks to all the bullshit striker injuries.
7 - Sigh
0-1
35 - FUCKING BULLSHIT FLUKE GOAL!
0-2
49 -
Henry slides in to replace
Abraham at DC and
Lewis is the new DL
Jahraldo-Martin subs in for
Derrick at ML
We're just absolutely worthless with all our strikers hurt.
Young Warriors may have gotten off to a slow start, but now they're right behind, and only GD is keeping us in 1st.
