Sandbach 6-1

Now where do I start with the shambles that was Sandbach on Wednesday!!  We started poorly with Lyness not showing up on time, and with the rest of the team saying he had gone to the shop and it being 12.50 we had to make tracks.  The hour journey seemed to have everyone is decent spirits and prepared for the game.  With the team sorted we put in a good warm up and were ready to go.

I guess the crazy thing was we started very well, passing the ball around well, keeping possession, creating opportunities, whilst keeping it quiet at our own end.  Even moving the ball around the back confidently was taking place!!

A few good runs by Bush, Walker and Riddiough brought the first goal, Walker applying the cross for Evan's to apply the fancy deft touch.  We were ahead and playing some good stuff, the problem was we began to over commit, therefore leaving gaps for a quick Sandbach side.

Sandbach equalised through mistake one there would be further errors that lead to us being 4-1 down at half time!  Unbelievable considering for 20 minutes we had been by far the better team.  To make matters worse we started superbly creating chance after chance, falling to Harvey, Evans, Riddiough, Spink, Bush and Plimley nothing going in.  I said to Cubey its going to be one of those days.  How they scored six goals only the lads know, but we must play more as a team and work harder together.  Mistakes are costly but it made look like we had been battered which was not the case, but we have to play for 35 mins each half!!

Nevertheless again there were good performances overall from Frank, Eastwood, Taylor and relentless work from Harvey, Bush and Evans but lessons must be learnt for next week!!
