The bad news is that despite all the confidence and high hopes of a convincing victory we lost 3-0 against Parkstone Heights.
Overall, the game wasn’t as good to watch as the last few have been and some of the essential things like communication, fast paced passing and moving and a few other ingredients seemed to be missing. What was most significant was the (almost tangible) ‘thing’ that that happens when the team is really on form didn’t happen, what a great pity.
On a more positive note there were some good individual performances in all positions on the field – some strong and committed work in defence which dramatically reduced the opposition’s chance to score, great cover and play making in the midfield and some determined play at the front.
If luck had been on our side we’d have finished off at least 3 of the chances that were made but sadly it wasn’t to be.
The good news is that having read the league table today Parkstone is still below us due to their goal difference but we really need to get some more wins and goals under our belts over the next few weeks to enable us to climb a few positions up the table.
Our MVP this week was ‘Jagster’ whose contribution in midfield was excellent and included some strong challenges, thoughtful attacking play and a great overall contribution.
Next week its Poole Town (Wessex) so we’ve got to work hard and make the ‘thing’ reappear!
