Blyth (6-9-21, 23rd) vs Salisbury (18-7-11, 5th)

Time to start thinking about who might be resigned & who might be leaving ... assuming I'm even around to be involved in those decisions. People have started sniping at me about tactics so I'll go 4-5-1 Defensive today. I doubt we'll get more than a few shots, we never seem to when we have too few strikers.

GK: Knight
D: Slaughter, Antwi, Purvis, Rowbotham
MF: Phillips, Matondo, Wedderburn, Whitaker, Bembo-Leta
ST: Lobjoit
Bench: (Groves, Richards, Mole, O'Connor, McDonald)

Halftime: Blyth 1 - Salisbury 0
Ince goes in hard on Lobjoit in the area, gets a yellow card & we get a penalty shot ... Whitaker buries it top right at 12:21
Antwi is hurt & has to come off at 27' ... Richards on

Outshot 6-1, only 32% of poss, only completing 55% of our passes, their mistake is the only reason we're in front and even that was a very questionable call.

Fulltime: Blyth 1 - Salisbury 1
Sims 25 yard free kick ties it at 57:30
3 mins extra time
They get a breakaway & Knight comes out but they airmail it over the bar at 92:40

We played better in the 2nd half, still only had 36% of poss. but were outshot total 13-6. Thanks for the gift on the penalty.


Knight 6.6
Slaughter 6.0, Antwi 6.9, Purvis 6.9, Rowbotham 7.0
Phillips 6.2, Matondo 6.9, Wedderburn 5.9, Whitaker 6.8 & 1 goal, Bembo-Leta 6.8, Lobjoit 6.8 & 1 assist
Subs: Richards (27' for Antwi) 6.1, Groves (70' for Slaughter) 6.9, Mole (83' for Bembo-Leta) N/A

Antwi will miss 4-5 weeks recovering from a broken arm.
