@ Viewfield Rovers (20th)
G: Grey Guy
D: Paul Murphy/Murray Soutar/Blair Yule/Callum Hill
DM: Luidgi Hoareau
MC: Barna Tott/Grant Thomson
AMC: Connor Lyall
ST: Lewis Kinnaird/Jack Currie
21 seconds - Completely unfathomable own goal by Yule. Don't understand that at all 0-1
23 - Thomson recovers a clearance deep in their half and sprays right to Hill. Short dribble and a gorgeous rainbow into the box connects with Kinnaird for the score, breaking his silent streak 1-1
58 - Thomson's corner kick connects with Soutar's head, and the 17 year old knocks in a debut goal!!! 2-1
65 - Hill injures one of their guys while stripping the ball away, engineering an attack that winds up going from right to left, back, and then forward again, capping with Lyall to Currie to Kinnaird and there's the insurance goal 3-1
69 - We switch to a 4-3-2-1, with Fleming coming in as a ML, Hill moving up to MR, Rae in at DR, Tott the lone MC, and Kinnaird shifting to a SS AMC role. Sitting are yellow-carded Hoareau and great playing but tired Thomson
8.8 and PotM for Lewis Kinnaird, who it was nice to see finally snap out of a slump. 8.7 for Connor Lyall, and the #3 star of the day went to Callum Hill for his 8.1.
vs Rannoch (12th)
G: Lucas Birnstingl
D: Paul Murphy/Murray Soutar/Blair Yule/Kyle Rae
M: Sean Fleming/Barna Tott/Callum Hill
AMC: Lewis KinnairdConnor Lyall
ST: Jack Currie
When we ran this formation before, it was with three MCs, not going wide as is the case now. We experimented with this in the second half of last game after Hoareau drew a yellow that suspended him this match. Didn't do anything with it, so we'll see what happens here.
What happens is we blow three very easy sitters in the first half, and are overall looking like we should be ripping this game open and aren't.
47 - So that's a double yellow and early bath for Yule. JHRC
57 - Dinis for Lyall and AMC switch, Thomson for Tott as we replace our two tired guys
81 - Pathetic defending on the free kick 0-1
It's our first league loss in 12 games. There's 10 games left, and our advantage is still technically 12 points, but the team behind us has a game in hand.
Youth pulls up next.
