Olney 2 United MK Eagles 2

Comments from some parents about us being the draw specialists, we had chances in the first half to be two or three up but didn't take our chances. The fact that we have drawn a few just highlights that we not an easy team to beat and we can grind a result out if we have to. I think that Home advantage counted today, a horrible pitch that did little to promote good football. On such a small pitch it permitted their keeper to play very direct and they are obviously used to playing that system. We should still focus on some positives today, whilst playing badly we managed to show enough character to come from behind twice and secure a point. Some desperate defending at times but effective, two quite soft goals though flattered the opposition. We played football in patches but never really got going, give United MK some credit though as they worked hard and defended in numbers, their keeper made one exceptional save. MOTM today goes to Freddy, he saw an awful lot of the ball today and rarely put a foot wrong. A point is better than none and on a day when we were not at our best its probably a fair reflection of our afternoons work. Thanks to Larry for running line and for the BOTS for the refreshments. Training Weds 6pm - 7.15pm.
For the record: Played 13 - Won 6 / Drawn 5 / Lost 2
