Conference - Match 16

Khazboss FC 3-7 Game
Scorers:
Evans
Heron
Gregory


Bye bye promotion
A sad defeat that should have never happened last night at the JJB almost certantly put down any hopes of a second succesive promotion. Khazboss started well and although two sloppy goals were conceeded early on, Khazboss looked the better side. The score was levelled with a classy goal from Gregory and then another good finish from Heron. The game began to get physical with Evans being kicked all over the place and Cheverton taking a knock but even though Game scored again, Evans pulled one back for Khazboss and they still looked in control. That's when it all fell apart. Khazboss managed to do what Everton did in the week although not quite as spectacularly. The team cohesion simply disappeared and Game had a spell of where they scored four goals in quick succession. The final whistle blew to in-team arguing and frustration for Khazboss.

Verdict: Game won this by taking advantage of Khazboss loss of team spirit not by skill or tacticts. A frustrating loss.

Ratings:
Charnock: 7 - Did all that was asked as keeper but did not keep his cool with the team
Ste Murphy: 6 - A few silly mistakes but no worse than anyone else
Heron: 7 - Made only one error, did a good marking job and scored a good goal. Star Man
Gregory: 6 - Started very well but soon lapsed into individual rather than team play.
Evans: 6 - Was constantly fouled but allowed it to get the better of him.
Cheverton: 5 - Worked hard but allowed the opposition past too easily too many times.
Scott Murphy: 5 - Again worked hard but lost his cool too often
