A really gritty, solid team performance and a great away win.
They started like a house on fire and we needed all our grit and determination to keep them out.They attacked with pace and drive and we really did have to hold our ground, get our foot in, cover all the angles and dig in. It was eight minutes before we had a shot. Watmore ran through and hit a crisp shot which the keeper parried. They pressed forward and Wes had a great game getting his foot in to stop them. We were doing our absolute best to press them up front and Rab won some good headers. Everything he didn’t do on Saturday he was doing tonight. Pressing their CB into errors and trying his hardest to keep us up the field. After 36 we got a free kick which was headed on to Flem but his shot was blocked for a corner. It was a good set piece but Leonard’s header was just wide. We were hanging on and frustrating them. Deep into added time they got a free kick jus5 outside our box but Bart saved the shot and it was all square at the break.
Ithought they would come out all guns blazing at the first whistle but they had a more measured approach. They played it wide, tried to stretch us at the back but we always managed to get a foot in or an important header away. They looked frustrated, the crowd were quiet and we seized the moment. Watmore pushed forward and slid an inch perfect through ball to Flem on the edge of the six yard box and he dinked it over the keeper for 1-0. The Millwall mob went nuts. Shortly after a good one two put Rab in but he overran the pass. They made two attacking subs and we took off a crocked Watmore and put on Esse. They Pressed and pressed but they could not blow our house down. As the clock ticked away they became even more frustrated and desperate. We tightened the defence by replacing Danny and Joe with Murray one BNC. Then Billy and Sav gave us some fresh legs in the middleClose to the death we sealed it. Flem robbed their full back on the left, squared it to Sav who stroked it in with his left foot. Our mob went nuts. Despite 7 which moved to 9 added minutes they could not force a way through our resilient defence And we were deserved 2-0 winners.
Bart was solid, made some good stops and made no errors. Danny was strong and feisty, Joe was tough tackling, Leonard gave nothing away and nor did Cooper but MOM went to Harding for a solid never say die performance at the heart of the defence. Casper was busy and covered all the angles and was well supported by Campbell. Flem had a decent game in parts and took his goal well. Watmore ran his heart out and provided the sweet pass to Flem for the opener and Rab led the line well. Esse ran hard, BNC, Murray,Billy and Sav bottled it all up and we were worthy winners. A clean sheet away from home, three points and two goals. GR you got it spot on but now see if you can do it all again on Saturday?COYL
