Scorer - Williams
The LOBS were ready and raring to go with a stong line up when
a no show from the ref threw them off track. Teddy, valiantly came
forward and accepted the referee' whistle. This meant the whole
team had to be shuffled. Charterhouse were pretty decent and had
the better of the opening exchanges. They had a lad who could throw
the ball further than a Daley Thompson javelin and all he did all
game was throw the ball
in our box - it was very irritating. Eventually, after much pressure
one of these throws arrived in the box, eluded all, bounced off
the head of a Charterhouse individual and into the goal.
LOBS bounced back, Wig curling a corner straight into the near
top corner of the Charts goal to bring things level. With 5 minutes
till half-time the Charts were awarded a very dubious penalty by
the ref who had finally turned up, if only he hadnt. The penalty
was put away -gutted. 2 minutes before half time, the oaf on the
right, threw the ball into our area again and they scored again.
Half time came and the lads were determined not to give up. However,
there was not enough fight, then the shape went and the Charts
slotted in goals 4, 5 and 6.
The only conclusion being that a much greater effort is needed
in our next match to get back to winning ways.
Ian - A couple of decent saves, kicked well out of hand but had
to fetch the ball out of his net 6 times - 6.
Guy - Battled hard and some good challenges but needed to move
the ball on more quickly - 6.
Billy - Moved to centre of defence where he battle hard but didnt
get his head on enough of the ridiculous long throws from the oaf
- 6.
Ian - Played well. Did the ball strike his hand for the penalty?
Probably but lets deny it - swine referee! - 7.
Ed - 20 minutes as ref. How many times did he blow the whistle.
Not once - good work. If only he was still reffing for the penalty.
- 7.
Wig - Started at left back, moved up front and finished in central
midfield - 7.
Oli - Started in midfield and finished up front. Worked the hardest
and looked like he wanted to win more than anyone else in red -
8 MOM.
Jordan - Up with Oli for MOM. Worked hard, lots of headers and
creative but no way through - 8.
Tom - Debut for Tom and not the best game to start your season.
Worked hard but could do with some work on his fitness - 6.
Russ - Started up front but never got the ball into his feet so
couldn't show off his great touches - 6.
Al H - Along with Oli worked hard and is a physical player but
suffered along with the rest of us - 7.
Wes - first game of the season. Some good touches but the ball
spent too much time in the air for himt to get stuck in - 7.
Not a good game for the LOBS to summarise. A big improvement needed
for the next game. Winning is far more enjoyable than losing but
we aren't going to win playing like we did. More energy and more
desire are needed.
The game against Berkhamstead this Saturday is postponed but the
ones have a match so let me know if you want to make yourselves
available for them. The next 2's game is on the 8th December, opposition
tba. Please let me know your availability.
