Blyth (2-3-2, 12th BSBN) vs Nuneaton (1-1-4, 20th BSBN)
We've split two matches against them lifetime but are 5:4 favorites today thanks to home field. We'll go 4-4-2 Standard to open, hope for some scoring as they've given up 15 goals in 6 matches this season.
GK: McDonald
D: Holden, Seery, Jones, Purvis
MF: Paratore, Whitaker, Bembo-Leta, Sawyer
F: Mutero, Cofie
Available Subs: (Williamson, Nwachuku, Clarke-Harris, Davies, Dovey)
28' - They miss an empty net and we dodge a bullet
Halftime: Outshot 7-2 in spite of being in Attack for that last half of the half.
48' - Cofie is on the spot for a rebound of Whitaker's shot and makes it count (1-0)
67' - Sub Clarke-Harris for Bembo-Leta (knocked) ... move Mutero to MF
76' - Switch to 5-3-2 Defensive ... Sub Williamson (for Sawyer, tiring)
89' - 3 mins added time
92' - McDonald goes down & takes the ball of the attacker's foot just inches from the box
Fulltime: Blyth 1 - Nuneaton 0
Not exactly an offensive outburst but a win is a win. We were outshot 8-6 but improved our passing efficiency in the 2nd half and ended up with 53% of poss.
