Perhaps we all expected too much, but having played so well last week with only 6 players against Irby's 7 plus a sub, we should have really put up a good fight against Upton since we had the pick of 10 players. Just didn't work out and as soon as we went a goal down, the heads dropped and the game had gone. It hadn't really and we could have and should have then grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and stormed back into it. But we didn't and we were often second best to 50/50 balls and at times looked unfit and tired. We are a good team, have players who can match most in this league for skill, and play good passing football and should not be getting smashed 20-0 over two games in a month against Upton. Confidence goes away too easily as well as the fight and desire needed to succeed at this level. Maybe we should have started with only 6! We'll all have to work hard in training and come back next Saturday fully fit and with a determination to give it all to win for the team.
Player of the match - Elia.
We'll have a fitness focussed training session in the gym this Monday. 7-8 usual place. See you there.
We still don't know our fixtures for Saturday despite being promised them last Thursday. We're in the hands of the League but we then have run around like headless chickens arranging to get 7 players together, find a referee who is free, make sure that the pitch is booked, and talk to the other club about kick off arrangements, directions etc.
