Shadowplay

An enjoyable first half, ended with 1 minute added time, despite 4 goal celebrations, a sending off, an injury to Conor Dixon and a pause for a player to boot his boot back on! 

Stretton had another chance from close range, not sure how he didn't connect with it.

Everybody looks bright, could have had more, but Foulkes has made a few routine saves too, as their number 11 is very swift on the break.

Lots of ? displays around the campus as a backdrop.

Given the fact that Blackburn fell apart and the game was effectively over after 9 minutes and Stretton scored 3….how did the other fringe players do?

Kornell? Watson? Hutchinson? Dixon? Thompson? Cashin?

 

We were 3-0 up before their man was sent off. Well deserved, ruthless finishing. They had chances, their number 11 very swift on break, and McDonald got caught out a time or two. Their finishing was weaker than ours, though and the extra man was bound to help us.

Watson was everywhere, always tries to play the positive ball, not quite all of them came off but many did. I thought Dixon had a great first half, Thompson running the game. Isaac Hutchinson started slowly, looked a bit rusty as would be expected but I thought he got stronger as game went on. Reece Hutchinson looked good, too. Very direct, good on overlap and played some great balls in to feet. Young journalist who was there said came recommended to us by Bucko. 

Cashin didn't have a lot to do because nearly all their attacks came down their left but he mopped up all the breaks with aplomb and played the ball out well. Of course it was his bullet header that started off the scoring. Great ball in from Thompson, but he really attacked it.
