U11s pipped by Glossop

The U11's lost today 2-1 to Glossop.

We started slow and didn't really get going until the second half.

Glossop were the best team in the first half as we struggled to get our passing together to create any real attacking moves. Glossop didn't really create that any chances either but we gave away a sloppy goal. We weren't awake and let in a easy cross and somehow the ball broke loose through a packed penalty area to a spare Glossop player to stab it home giving Gary no chance.

We made 3 subs and instantly looked better. We camped in their half for the whole of the second half and looked liked getting an equaliser. Jamie & Josh both hit the cross-bar as we started to open them up but it just was't our day.
Joe was again very strong & just pipped Fletch & Ethan for effort to win man of the match.

Just like the last time we played them as we continued to press for an equaliser they broke for their first attack on our goal & scored, 2.0 with 10 minutes to go. We piled on the pressure & Josh scored a cracker from distance but it was too late. A draw may have been a fair result but we just didn't show enough effort or enthusiasm to win the game.

The managers made a few mistakes today. The warm up wasn't great & we knew 2 or 3 lads did not look awake but we gave them the benefit of the doubt and it back fired. They are no better than us, we know that and if we play like we are capable of then we'll knock them out of the County cup.

Next week, 100% effort & get the passing going. You've seen what you can achieve when you put in the effort.
