Olney 0 Winslow United Tigers 6

I think our worst fears were confirmed today, trying to motivate yourselves for tough opposition after the strolls in the park we have had over the past couple of weeks was obviously beyond us. A very subdued performance all over the park today, we never competed and that is unlike us, they had to much time, to much space and all to often. We stood off them something rotten in the first half, their desire to be first to the ball was far greater than ours. We lost the game in the middle of the park today, injuries to Fred and Jack unfortunately limited our options in bolstering that department. A bad day at the office today guys, we have to take some collective and indeed individual responsibility for such a lack lustre performance. Not all doom and gloom though,things can only get better ! Jon and Ben had great games today, some great kicking, good handling and superb saves. (Ben Brown walking off with the man of the match today, thoroughly deserved) We need to pick ourselves up for a very tough cup game v Willen next week, lets put this behind us and go into Weds and Saturday training with the right mental approach. 9 times out of 10 you will get out of a game what you put in, we never did enough to win or draw today, 6 -0 was however a bit of a hammer blow. Ben Lucas is available next week and will give us more variation in the way we play, still plenty of football to be played this season, lets not look back with regret in 8 months time about what might have been.
