Lewbangers 3 W.R.A. FC 4
Lewbangers lost to league leaders W.R.A. FC despite holding a 3-1 advantage with less than 10 minutes to go. Woolbanger bagged a hat-trick to get back on the goal trail in style, but unfortunately this wasn't enough to stave off defeat.
Both teams had nice passages of play during the opening ten minutes, but neither side could open the scoring. Lewbangers best chance was curled just wide by Braggbanger after he had been involved in neat interplay with Woolbanger and Longbanger.
The deadlock was broken on 12 minutes when Thombanger made a surging run from the back before switching play to Woolbanger on the left, who promptly finished to the right corner.
It was not long before Woolbanger grabbed his second. Keithbanger played a direct ball from goal towards him and when little seemed on other than for Woolbanger to win a throw-in at best, he sharply cut inside and aimed a shot at goal which the W.R.A keeper couldn't keep out.
With a 2-0 lead at half time and Thombanger and Bloombanger defending stoutly, no changes seemed necessary. Lewbangers were this week on the receiving end of a goal straight after the interval, after scoring one themselves last week. At 2-1, things looked more precarious.
Five minutes later though, it did appear that Lewbangers had sewn the game up when Longbanger marvellously found Woolbanger, who again dispatched with confidence.
With the security of a two-goal lead and less than ten minutes to go, Lewbangers mysteriously stopped doing everything they had been doing well for the 25 minutes previous. Possession was surrended needlessly on countless occasions and their marking went haywire. The result was three sloppy goals being conceded and Lewbangers snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
As always positives and negatives could be taken from the performance. Woolbanger's finishing was clinical and will hopefully lead to him going on a scoring spree that will gain him the inaugural Lewbangers Golden Boot award. Thombanger and Bloombanger's defensive performance in the first half was excellent. Both players stayed in position and stood up strong to the pressure that came their way. Longbanger gave his best performance of the season so far and won the ball before W.R.A. FC could get into the final third on numerous occasions.
The major criticism is of course the surrender of a two goal advantage. Possession was all that was needed, but at times the ball retention was woeful. The marking also became haphazard, but rather than this being down to a lack of willing, it was more to do with little communication in defensive areas.
W.R.A. FC are again the opponents next week, so we shall see if Lewbangers take the positives on and eradicate their errors. We shall see, Lewbangers fans, we shall see.
Squad: Keithbanger; Bloombanger, Thombanger; Braggbanger, Longbanger; Woolbanger.
