Re: vs Bromley
Well Bromley.
1. The swirling wind suited their style of kick and rush football. We failed miserably to adapt to the conditions, especially against the wind in the second half.
2. They get the ball forward quickly playing mostly counter-attacking football.
3. Out of possession they worked hard pressing us to stop us passing the ball forward.
4. We got sucked into playing like they do with the ball in the air and periods of "head-tennis", except they are a lot better at that style of play.
5. The few times we did try to play a passing game we did look threatening, but those passages of play were few and far between ( see above comments).
6. Their second goal, a free-kick into the box was caught by the gusty wind, bounced once making it difficult to see and blew into the net. A bit fortunate but given the conditions was always possible. I can only assume Crellin was unsighted in the crowded box. Even the Bromley lad who scored looked very surprised.
They did a job on us today as they have done recently to other teams (only lost 2 in their previous 9 games).
We move on. Let's hope when our injured return and the team doesn't pick itself, the competition for places improves performances.
