11th @ Holbeach Reserves (9th)
G: Damien Stevens
D: Sam Young/Blake Goodman/Jake Betts/Dan Starbuck
DM: Mark Drew
M: Jordan Wright/Chris Peach
AM: Phil Dean/Hayden Johns
S: Adam Cornell
James Kay signed elsewhere, but that's okay. Darren Craddock moves to the bench, then.
24 - Peach boots a volley to Cornell. The striker dribbles into the box, where his short pass to Dean is cut out. No problem, as Dean picks up the loose ball and thunders a shot in. 1-0
51 - Taylor in for Peach; Craddock for Young.
89 - Ugh. They've been hammering us all game long, and finally sneak in a fluke corner kick goal 1-1
Frustrating, because we played great overall.
Youth Pulls
We have two players who are immediately ready to start on the backline, but only one will win a spot from the get go.
10th vs Ketton (4th)
G: Damien Stevens
D: Sani Amodu (Youth pull)/Blake Goodman/Jake Betts/Dan Starbuck
DM: Mark Drew
M: Jordan Wright/Chris Peach
AM: Phil Dean/Hayden Johns
S: Adam Cornell
Miah replaces Cornell at the half.
47 - Miah is knocked out with injury, and we're forced to move Wright up to an AMC spot, with Taylor at MC in a weird, strikerless formation.
79 - Johns is on the far right wing and he kicks a 20 yarder back to Starbuck just outside the box. Short pass in the box to Peach and the layoff to Wright for the open score! 1-0
Jordan Wright's 7.1 is good enough for PotM, though Sani Amodu pulls a 7.0 in his debut. Not bad for a 15 year old!
With an hour and a half left in the deadline, we swipe DM/MC Paul Nesbit, a 15 year old who posted a 7.7 in his first game. The kid's got an intriguing set of skills, and I promised him a first team spot over the profoundly disappointing Mark Drew.
9th vs Stamford Belvedere (3rd)
G: Damien Stevens
D: Sani Amodu (Youth pull)/Blake Goodman/Jake Betts/Dan Starbuck
DM: Paul Nesbit
M: Jordan Wright/Chris Peach
AM: Phil Dean/Hayden Johns
S: Adam Cornell
22 - Nisbet is injured, so Taylor comes in.
Flynn replaces Dean at the break.
58 - Ugh. 0-1
On top of it, Paul Nesbit is out 3-4 months. Just fucking great.
