Default Re: Airbus Reaction

For those that didn't go, a game of two halves.

First half we started pretty much full strength - after a few minutes the game settled down and it was almost a training exercise.

Good showings - Leo Smith on the right flank, Deverdics centre midfield pushed up and Luke Young was very industrious and caught the eye with his work rate and willingness to control the ball and spray passes.

Big Mike up front took the first goal and really created the second with a fair but strong challenge on their keeper - he looked very strong and is the first time in a while a striker was challenging in the air - looked decent but was withdrawn before half time.

Second half was basically the youth team with Dibble in goal for the full 90 minutes - no sign of the new keeper plus Wright and Rutherford played the second half.

We should have scored more with some woeful finishing - Rutherford did all the hard work and finished with a poor shot when it looked easier to score - similarly a youth player was through with a clear chance but put it the wrong side of the post.

Number 6 in central left defence caught the eye with some good chances.

Refreshment kiosk could have been vastly improved and Airbus missed out on the big money - one van with one woman serving the whole ground and one man cooking - someone separately selling 'just drinks' would have made a killing and reduced the food que which for the first half and the early part of the second seemed to stretch back to Hawarden.

An interesting setting with Beluga's taking off behind the goalmouth stand with the game in full flow.

We played far better first half than last week - looked well drilled.
