First game of Season 12 against the team we last played in Season 11. That game was our first game without Graeme since his injury, they beat us then and with Graeme still out and Rob on holiday, it would be a tough game.
Had a few players with hangovers and players like myself who were tired and just played crap! Deano the new lad had a blinder of a debut, only small but he's lightning quick and constantly skinned their team pulling off some brilliant goals.
Defensively we had a few lapses, usually somebody not tracking their man goalside but that's going to happen with 2 new boys and others being off the pace. There were some good tackles though, Stimo saved the day preventing 3 players to 1 against the keeper! (Yeah it did get that bad sometimes;P) Deano was good at pressuring their backline and Craig had a few elastic man tackles. We didn't really do our halfway tactic, seemed a bit more fluid then usual, with us putting pressure on them higher up and a few of these interceptions got us goals. Likewise it cost us some when players werent sprinting back to cover.
Good win overall though and considering Burke had to step in goal again (having an even better game than last time too!), the team did well.
Goals: Craig (2), Deano (5), Ste (1)
Team: Burke, Craig, David, Deano, Ken, Kev, Stimo, Ste
