Yellows fail to dominate midfield and fail to track back.

Despite a one man advantage with eight v seven, the blues cut the yellows to pieces when a big gap developed between defence and attack. Rather than doing the simple ball from the wings our forwards tried speculative shots. The blues had an Argentinian debutant in Leandro, a friend of Will's, Danny, Gashead Simon, Tony, Phil B and big Blades Andy. The latter somehow kept a low shot of mine out. We kept th'e score down to four-two for a long time but the blues suddenly started scoring a hatful of goals.

The yellows had a strongish side with Yev and Steve the picks of the bunch. Nick, Mick K., Spizz, Philip, Baggies Ian and me the guv'nor. Nick got a nice side foot goal from a good low cross early in but inexplicably we stopped playing a passing game.

The blues had excellent performers in Will and Tony, while Gashead showed commendable discipline in defence with Andy. Danny was playing box-to-box. Perhaps a closer match next time when hopefully the Gooner season ticket holders Ian G. and Simon (blogger par excellence) come back to the fray.
