An away game today but only as far as the other pitch at Alexandra to play Alexandra United.  We really needed to perform to our best today as we were facing Johnny our striker from last year.  However despite dominating large chuncks of the game we made some silly mistakes and were hit on the break on several occasions.  We win the kick off and immediately Tyri, Sy and William combine to cut the Alexandra defence in half but Sy's shot misses the post by a couple of inches. Within a minute however we are one nil down when the defence fail to clear and Alex catch us in possession.  Immediately following this Alexandra win a corner and play the ball in close to the near post, for whatever reason Matt K ducks beneath the ball at the last moment and Matt R has no time to adjust as the ball strikes him and goes in. Two down in 5 minutes and we're not looking good.  We fight back however and take the game to Alexandra, but they play very well as a single unit, everyone behind the ball once possession is lost and we find it hard to penetrate their defence.  As soon as they win possession however they break quickly and we are caught on a number of occasions the worst is where Aaron under pressure attempts a cross field pass to Charlie unfortunately its underhit and johnny latches onto it and lashes it past Matthew for their third.  They break again just before half time and score the fourth to put us 4 - 0 down at the break.  After the break we again take the game to them but yet again we get caught in possession down the right and Alexandra steel in to notch up the fifth goal.  We top off our performance by failing to clear a ball from the box despite several easy chances to put the ball out of danger, Alexandra pounce on the ball and we go 6 - 0 down.  We in turn get a corner and Wills high ball into the box is met by a first time volley by Sy straight in.  We got a lesson in how to play as a team today, Alexandra were better organised, won every ball in midfield and defended in numbers, despite having the bulk of the possession we couldn't use it to our advantage and failed to threaten their goal, we also undermined all our hard work upfront with avoidable mistakes at the back.  The score flattered Alexandra and when we next meet we must work harder as a team.  MOTM for sticking to the task is Charlie.
