Two wins in our last two games, another win was required today to stay in touch with the three teams ahead of us in the league.
Despite a really positive start to the game from Cliftonville, out of nowhere 10 minutes in, we happened to find ourselves 1-0 down against Sevenoaks. Not ideal but we had been playing some great stuff so no need to panic. Within 5 minutes we were back level, Simon picked the ball up on the left wing drove into the D and fizzed the ball towards the p spot and Perks deflected it into the far corner past the keeper. 1-1. Wasn't long before Ville took the lead. This time it was Will who whipped a ball in from just outside the D and on his reverse Perks deflected it into the same corner past the keeper. 2-1.
Ville continued to press and looked dangerous.
Hoops picked up the ball outside the 23 and drove with it, suddenly we had a 3 on 1. He slipped it to Perks at the top of the D bypassing the defender, Perks then found Sidders on the post who tucked it away to make it 3-1 at the break.
More of the same was demanded in the half time team talk, let's take it to them again and put this game to bed.
Ville continued to dominate proceedings and 10 minutes into the 2nd half went 4-1 up. Simon again from the left fizzed the ball in, Perks with his back to goal let it go past him and then managed to drag it back and divert it past the keeper for his hat trick. This was followed up with Sidders getting on the scoresheet again, keeper made a save which found Sidders who made no mistake with a well taken finish with a reverse stick shot past the keeper. 5-1 Ville. Ville weren't done yet! Westie played a long corner sideways to JB who found an open Hoops in the D who calmly slotted it past the keeper on the diagonal to make it 6-1. A great TEAM performance, every single person played their part today. Hughes - sorry don't remember you having to do anything - which is a good thing! The back 3 of Dave W, Seb/Max and Matt were solid - transferring the ball well round the back and whenever a Sevenoaks attacking player managed to receive the ball, they didnt have it for very long!The defensive midfield duo of JB and Westie controlled the game brilliantly, intercepting when needed and then forming the attacks well. The attacking midfield trio of Will, Hoops and Simon were relentless all afternoon, bags of energy and creativity. All either scoring or getting an assist.
5 goals between the front two of Perks and Sidders who made it a very uncomfortable afternoon for the Sevenoaks back line, hustling them from start to finish.
Two games left before the Xmas break and 6 points up for grabs.
MOTM - Perks - hat trick hero
DOD - Definitely not Sidders.
