Our first game since Graeme got injured, after numerous attempts to find a keeper Burke took one for the team and stood between the posts. We were without Rob as well and our usual pool of backups had injuries, so as we have often done this season, we drafted in new players to fill the space.
It was 0-5 first half, we seemed more nervous than usual and found it tough to get any real chances their end. CSKA played a tight game and moved the ball about well to create chances.
Second half our team was determined to start playing like we can and we scored 3 goals within 6 minutes from k/o. Craig, David & Kev netting to breath some life into us. Unfortunately we couldn't keep it up and they knocked in 2 goals that ended any real hopes to pull the game back. I'm sure this will be a common remark over the next few weeks but we missed Graeme but that's not meant to knock Burke, as he pulled off a number of good saves and did better than anybody else could have last night.
Kev & Scott both did their best to fit in too but overall we made hard work of defence. We didnt provide enough cover for each other and attack wise were a bit static. Our goals mostly came from some class long range shots, infact I think every goal was long range. Kev, Stimo and Ken had some notable efforts.
This was possibly our final game of the season as NGLM may be in vac still, so training as usual if this is the case. A default win should see us safe from relegation but you never know with the site stats being a week behind!
Goals: Craig (1), David (1), Ken (1), Kev (1), Stimo (1)
Team: Burke, Craig, David, Ken, Kev, Scott, Ste, Stimo
