Hilltop 9 - 9 Wades

Update: After confirming goals scored, seems we got ten last night and the ref has miscounted. What a b@astard!

Even though we got a point from this, it felt like a loss. We totally out played them first half, so much so that by the time the second half started, over confidence caused a loss of shape & work ethic. It's bizarre how it happened and I could rabbit on about the game and try to figure out what went wrong but the fact is, it was like 3 teams played last night and we really only have ourselves to blame.

First half, we did some nice passing & movement (although we still should have made a few more chances count). Second half we didn't show the same kind of initiative going forward, people tended to run more with the ball down the flanks, rather then passing early and looking for a 1-2 down the centre. They did swop their keeper at half-time however, although to suggest this is a reason we dropped 2 points is lame, as we didn't test them at all really.

We are above Old Swan at the mo which is good, makes our next game vs them that more important though and if we can find 3 points elsewhere this season, we may have a respectable finish.

If you have any opinions yourself, you can make a post in the comments section of each match report!
