Spotted Oxford Blackbirds player in Oxford!
What an outstanding match, unfortunately we came out on the losing side. Two attacking teams that played good fair football. We had a full complement this week with no absences........I feel Cobras playing rugby before the game made a strange atmosphere as its the 1st time at the Closes we have seen rugby played.
Possibly the French manager was trying to rub the England France rugby result in our faces!
A great coach with great boys and parents
3 Mins - Good inswinging corner from Harry, Cam with what I believe his 1st header a good clinical goal. 1-0
5 Mins - We had opportunities to clear the ball in the air and failed. A bit of a defensive mix up and we gave the ball to the Cobras to strike 1-1
10 Mins - We tried to play the ball out of defense by beating the opposition and not trying to pass. We lost the ball then we stood off their attackers and paid the ultimate price. 1-2
At this time we needed to rally the defense and get them working as a team and closing the ball down. If we continued to play like this we would have lost this game by multiple goals. Whilst we are not keen on shouting, the boys needed to step up from how they were playing and folowing this 2nd goal the defense improved their closing and headers.
18 Mins - A terrific shot by Cookie from the edge of the box and their keeper stood no chance. 2-2
25 Mins - Matt playing in midfield today. He seems to get in the right position and got a body part on it to nudge it over the line. 3-2
28 mins - A good attack resulted in a good goal 3-3
HT - Again its a shame we could not have made it in at half time in the lead again.
33mins goal from Cobras 3-4
39 mins Flynn managed another strike 4-4
47 Mins - we lost another 4-5
As time went on we tried to push forward a bit more
59 Mins - A dodgy challenge in the penalty area and for the 2nd week we give away a last ditch penalty 4-6
60 Mins - A ball forward Harry linked onto it and made a good goal one on one with keeper 5-6
At the end of the game we managed a corner and had every player bar 1 in the opposing penalty area but it was cleared and the final whistle blew but the Cobras were rattled.
Again a disapointment for the boys, we have been so close with every game we have played this year we just need to go top the next level.
Positives were the improvement in our defending from the first two goals and the performance by all after this was improved.
All our goals came from different players which may be good or may mean we are not playing positionally?
A good team performance, we feel we are still improving and can work on things in training.
As with all the French at rugby games they introduce a chicken during the match BUT I feel this time their French coach went a step too far!
It made be blush and Im not sure its appropriate either!
Man of the match sponsored by Rentokill killer of all vermin including snakes! was Mason for a tremendous step forward and did everything that was asked of him, WELL DONE you can have a chicken
Well done to Cobras we will have our revenge!
