Well done. I busted my ankle and achilles in coming out to make a one-on-one save in the draw with Island Bay Reds a couple of weeks ago which has probably ended my season early so for the last 2 games my view has been from the sideline rather than at the back.
Not much to say about last week's 4-1 loss to Porirua. We were poor and deserved to lose but a penalty from a pretty stupid foul and a couple of soft goals inflated the score. Their coach stood on the opposite side of the pitch to the subs and supporters so he could abuse our defenders all game without anyone on the sideline being able to hear him and have a go at him. Weirdly it was probably a worse performance than in the drubbing from the Amigos.
This week we played Uni Cycles who we lost 3-2 to the first time around. That was a game we felt we should have got something from and it came during that period of the season early on when every week we were leading games then conceding late and losing by 1 goal.
No such drama this time. Dominated the first half and were disappointed to only be 1-0 up at half time. Second half it all came together. The passing in particular was really good to watch and it was the best I've seen this team play in the 3 seasons I've been with them. Ended up 5-0 and could have been more. It was finally a game when everything clicked for 90 minutes as it's threatened to all season. Bit jealous on the sideline missing out on the clean sheet in a game where the fill in keeper barely had to touch the ball.
