Saturday May 10th 2008 - Round 5: Scotch vs Immanuel

Round 5 Report Scotch vs Immanuel May 10th 2008 A Grade Scotch 2 - 2 Immanuel Overall a very disappointing result for the boys, more so for the way we played and not so much for the result. Credit to Immanuel for continuing to pressure us all over the pitch for the whole 90 minutes. We seemed to be flat for the majority of the game and did not utilize our normal game plan with our wide players. Positive notes were our defensive shape, and we were unlucky to suffer an own goal from a deflected defensive header with 10 minutes to play. Goals went to a cooly slotted penalty from captain Johnny, and a cracker from Welly, nice work boys!!! Hopefully Dunsy has a speedy recovery from a knee injury.

Again a half dozen changes to the line-up didn't help, along with another sloppy 20 minute patch in the middle of the game. However, a good debut was had to Martin and Mugel. Thanks for staying patient for your 1st game guys, you both played very well!! At this stage we still feel that we need to choose the team on merit of who attends training week to week and who has paid subs, but we will discuss this very soon if we continue to suffer big results like this. Credit to Immanuel for definitely showing a very strong performance over the entire game, and for some last gasp defending in the 1st 15 minutes when we had several good chances. A massive thankyou to Deano who won't be playing any more matches for us now as he plans to move back over to the USA again. Thanks for all your efforts mate, everyone appreciates it and respects you on-field attitude!! (and swearing on the weekend!! :o) 3 votes: Ricky 2 votes: Toby 1 vote: Quento
