report by Peter Reynolds
Not the expected result and we again failed to produce a performance at home. We did start quite brightly and looked as though we would warm to the
task. However once the YM scored on 8 minutes you sensed the points were
there for the visitors.
Their first goal came from a free kick 25 yards from goal which centre back
Daniel Heath fired through the wall and in to the net. We almost replied
within seconds, Karl Reynolds sent over a cross from the left which evaded
everyone including Ian Jones who was arriving at the far post.
An equaliser
then and it might have been a different game. Wyn Walters made a good save
tipping over another long shot but unfortunately he was all at sea for their
second. On thirty six minutes, the YM were awarded a free kick two yards
into our half and two yards in from touch. The kick was taken by wing back
Leon Spargo and with the help of the wind he hoisted it into our area. Wyn
apparently called for the ball but then hesitated and the ball sailed over
his head and nestled in the back of the net with no-one getting a touch.
Having seen how YM scored their goals we should have been using the wind and
shooting from anywhere. Not us, we tried to play football and ignored the
conditions. The only chance we had in the second half was from a miskick by
goalkeeper Gareth Wesson that went straight to Ian Jones, he took the ball
forward and tried to side foot passed Wesson who dived and saved. In over
seven minutes of added on time we failed to put Wesson under any pressure,
we now have a run of five away matches so hopefully can pick up some points
from these games.
