Injury Update
-- Ronnie Navarro twists a knee in training and is out 4-5 weeks... probably done for the year. Losing him and Roth within a week of each other really, really hurts.
-- ST Don Saunders is hurt and out 5-6 weeks. I normally wouldn't mention this, but well, he's a striker. All of a sudden we don't have a whole hell of a lot of those.
August 26th, 2016
Wake Forest Cougars (11-6-4, 1st) vs Hattiesburg Rebels (9-3-9, 9th)
Attendance: 283
-- We beat them 3:1 at our place back in July.
Starting Lineup
GK: Gyan
D: Campbell/Burke/Forrest/Jackson
DM: Williams
M: Tapia/Shakespeare
AM: Davidson/Crook
ST: Cole
With such limited depth up front, we'll go back to the formation that we used all of last year, 1 striker and a DMC.
Standard mindset today.
4': A nice cross from Crook to Cole sees him put it in the net, but he was offsides.
11': Free kick for Davidson just outside the area, he shoots, high.
31': Throwin in their end, we work it to the opposite side of the field, and back again, but lose it before we can attack. they counter quickly and get a man up for a shot, but saved easily.
39': Crook earns us a corner with a cross attempt, corner goes nowhere.
43': We are dominating possession but they have 4 shots to our 1, here we see one go way wide.
HALF: We just aren't looking all that great, all the possession but we can't put it together. One of the coaching notes is that Cole is making lots of errors. I don't really want to bring him off though.
50': They have a corner, taken far post, a header is blocked... another header for them, blocked again. WHEW.
61': They have a corner, cleared and we coutner. Crook ahead to Shakespeare, ahead to Davidson... offsides.
65': Jackson ahead to Crook, their defense is back... but a defender just falls over, slipped in the rain I guess. Crook walks into the area, takes a clear cut chance, and scores it! 1-0
66': Lots of passing through the middle for us, a poor pass is cleared but we regain control and go up the middle again, Shakespeare puts a nice through ball into the area on the right side, Crook shoots from basically the same spot as his last goal, and its the same result, goal! 2-0
67': Hernandez in for Burke
73': Lets defend.
83': Free kick from Tapia, he crosses into the area , Forrest with a header, it hits a defender, falls to Davidson and Davidson puts it in! 3-0
That's it, good recovery from our last match where we got crushed 4:0.
Wake Forest 3 : 0 Hattiesburg
Man of the Match: Ryan Crook (8.9)
