Yup, I wasted a trip over the tops from Halifax. Really poor and lost one nil. Angelino was back but not much else to report.
Celina missed a golden chance to equalise in the last 5 minutes or so but hit the post.
The main event tomorrow better be an improvement!
Poor overall performance by the team last night against a strong but not very good Everton. Still not sure how their goal went in as the guy miskicked it and Gunn didn't move so maybe a deflection. Angelino back and lively as ever but Barker on his return stuggled to make any impact until the last 3rd of the game where he wriggled through a couple of times.
I just felt we lacked pace in the play and made it easy for Everton. Celina is a clever tidy player but somehow doesn't threaten enough. Faupala as a 9 was easy to handle and as he can't run behind the defence it limits our options. That meant our wingers had to make things happen or we play quick interpassing and get runners through.Neither happened.
It wasn't a lack of effort but you need more than that to break down well organised teams. Near the end Buckley did brilliantly to get to the line and pick out Celina but he hit the post with only a defender on the line and then Barker also got to the byline and found Celina but his left footed attempt got blocked.
3 games now v Everton. Lost the first leg at Goodison, beat them 1 nil with the 18's and now lost to the 21's. 2 wins now essential to make it 3.2 in wins
