@Lindfield IV (1st)
Hoyle is still in at DL today.

We go down 0-2 by halftime on set pieces and I scream at the team. How dare they shame our orange creamsicle jerseys this way!

51 - Russell's longball screams as long and loud as I did at the break. Wickens runs it down to slam in his third goal of the year. 1-2

62 - Sigh. Subs in. 1-3

66 - Bullshit no-call on that foul of Britton.

88 - England sent off with ANOTHER red. PK. 1-4

90 - Way too little, way too late Britton first goal on a Wickens assist. 2-4

vs Scaynes Hill (Malins Challenge Cup First Round
Obvs Hadley back in at DL, Hoyle forced to DC.

4 - Watts absolutely belts the shit out of a free kick from midfield into the box. Russell beats everyone and lays off to Wickens. Guess the media was right to be on his nuts. 1-0

12 - Watts picks up a blocked Wickens shot outside the back and centers to Russell for the return feed in the box. Defender drills Watts, ball rolls towards the goal, and it's Britton barging forward to put it away! 2-0

42 - Garcia sprays out wide left to Long, who dribbles to the touchline and crosses. Brittons header clangs off the upper bar, but he traps his own rebound walks it in! 3-0

53 - Sure, we'll take that fluke goal by Watts. 4-0

70 - Sanchez subs for Russell

Literally everyone kicked ass today except for George Russell - 7s and 8s EVERYWHERE. Except, of course, Jake Britton's PotM-winning 9.4.

@ Burgess Hill Albion II (7th)

3 - The boys came in cocky and I smelled a letdown. Yep. 0-1

23 - Russell races down his cleared free kick and passes to Watts for the entry pass to Wickens and the media darling does it again. 1-1

56 - Out Britton; In Sanchez

92 - You motherfucker.... Hyam is a hambitch for that lazy ass kick and allowing them to score the winning goal with less than 20 seconds on the damn clock 1-2

vs Barcome II (Mid Sussex Junior Cup First Round
It's Sanchez starting for tired Garcia today.

19 - Russell kicks it back to Sanchez for the low arcing steamer into the box and Wickens yet again scoring. I hate that the media is right about him. 1-0

23 - Hadley intercepts the goal kick and immediately nudges it to Long for the dribble and long pass to Wickens in the box. Why can't we score like this in league play? 2-0

Everyone else has been meh at the half. Ben Wickens? 8.7.

66 - Longball by Hoyle that who else but Wickens runs down in the box. Defense is so focused on him, they don't see Britton sneaking in for the ground give and the score is easy. 3-0

78 - Sloppy, complacent defending on the corner. 3-1

Ben Wickens with the PotM 9.0; Ollie Long with an 8.4 and Sandro Sanchez netting a cool 8.0. That's two out of three cups we advance in.

But we're still in last place in the league.

On the bright side, Ollie Long and Charlie Hyam busted tail in training last month, and for the first time this season, we're in the black.
