Another day, another friendly, this time at Turnbull Ground to take on Whitby. This should be a win against a Northern Premier side, that's the purpose here as much as anything, so it better be a win. 4-4-2 Diamond Standard
GK: Dovey
D: A.Brown*, Warren*, Seery, Groves
DMC: Sawyer
MF: Musungu, Bembo-Leta
AMC: Whitaker
ST Lobjoit, Cofie
Available: (Antwi, Morrison, Egbeku*, Wallace, Dombaxe, Clarke-Harris, Purvis, Christian*, Mutero, Christensen, Paratore*, McDonald)
*indicates trialists
9' - Cofie intercepts a header after a goal kick, runs in & scores (1-0)
14' - Groves free kick hits the post, Cofie's rebound header is saved
44' - Cofie centers, Lobjoit scores (2-0)
Halftime - Outshot them 9-3 and generally ran them ragged. Just a solid first half for nearly everyone. Sub Mutero for Musungu (6.2, yellow card), Purvis for Groves
60' - Sub Dombaxe (for Bembo-Leta), Clarke-Harris (for Cofie), Paratore (for Whitaker), Wallace (for Sawyer)
69' - Paratore feeds Clarke-Harris just outside the box for an easy goal (3-0)
69' - Sub Antwi (for Seery), Sub Christian* (for Lobjoit)
Fulltime - Blyth 3 - Whitby 0 friendly
Not bad, we had a little lull in the mid point of the match but on the whole I'll take it. I tell them club that if we play like that when it really matters things are looking very good indeed ... and it pissed of both Cofie & Clarke-Harris, as well as about a half dozen others. Where do I keep finding these tempermental divas, I wasn't downplaying the outing, actually meant to be encouraging. Sigh.
