VENCEREMOS 3-3 FOOTBALL SAMURAI RED
A hard fought draw against a physical and cultured U18 side.An early thunderbolt from Abi gave us the lead, but the game bounced back and forth from there, with a flukey cross/shot from Maxim looping into the net, and a deflection from Taige’s intense pressing dropping in too. We went in at half time 3-2 up but they blasted in a free kick in the second half and we couldn’t find the winner, despite throwing everything forward in the final ten minutes. The draw doesn’t help with the cup group, but even if we don’t play that final game next week, it’s been an excellent first season in the top division - finishing third, and beating/matching several U18 teams in the cups. (Only narrowly losing to one on penalties). PR 8.5

VENCEREMOS 1-0 HILLTOP RED
A monster of a team performance. No subs, against a big, strong, older team who had beaten the Prem division winners 3-1 last week. Lots of talking and directing, intense pressing and tackling - including a bit of streetwise, tactical tackling to slow down their breakaways 😉. Good to see us do that when needed - nobody comes to our home ground and bullies us! Too much quality to name a MotM today, as I’d call pretty much every player as an 8 or 9. But the three who really stood out were Abi, Maxim and Santi - the key battlers who drove us forward, broke up their attacks, and kept the game on our terms. 💪 PR: 10

PITSHANGER RED 1-0 VENCEREMOS
A strong performance against the league division leaders, but they got a soft goal from a slight error at the back, and we just couldn’t break them down to get the equaliser. There was hardly anything between the teams, though. A solid progression from the 7-2 defeat against the same team a few weeks ago. Lots of positives. Hugely impressed with MotM Christian, whose intensity and strength almost won us an equaliser. Anton had one of his best games in defence - same with Kye in midfield. And every member of the team played well and worked hard for each other. It’s one of those losses that doesn’t feel like a loss. No comfort, I know, but we take the performance over the result.

The boys were alot more focused going into this game and it made a difference to their performance. Kaarlo got his first goal in a long time to give us the lead and then We pushed on and finished the half 2-0 up. Dom was a constant threat down the left and he tore up their whole defence. He played some brilliant square balls from the by line which got us to 3-0. We then got a 4th which the ref gave, although their keeper ran into one of his own players and hurt himself so the ref chalked it off. Then one of their players went a bit crazy and scored 2 cracking goals and we had a passage of flakey play. Cometh the hour cometh Dom, he picked the ball up and ran past their whole defence and scored with his left foot. Amazing goal and he put the game to bed. We had one sub (again) and the boys showed what they can achieve when they put their minds to it. PR 8.0

A big result and a massive performance that shows the strength of our team spirit and culture. The first half was a bit flat and we never quite got into our rhythm, with some loose passing and lazy pressing. But with a system change and reshuffle, we looked like a different team in the second half - intense, moving the ball quicker, always dangerous in the attacking third. We turned it around thanks to Maxim’s powerful close-range finish, Christian’s instinctive shot (deflected but still his debut goal!) and an outstanding MotM performance from Alex. They just couldn’t deal with us - and we should have had more goals. A superb performance to end a tough league season. Depending on other results, we could finish as high as third in our first season in the top division. 👏👏 PR 9.0

A disappointing end to the season, after the last few weeks we've had. A bit of a lacklustre performance from the Vs. Although not playing that well, the boys went 3-0 up at half time. Two lucky goals and a worldie free kick levelled the game. The boys need to focus on playing the basics and moving the ball up and down the field instead of the long balls.

It was a comfortable first half, and we dominated the play with our intensity and energy. Four goals up at half time, thanks to an instinctive chipped finish from Alex, driven shots from Taige and Tom, and Rashardo’s cross/shot… 🤔 But then, they pulled one back from a squared ball which had *definitely* gone out, and stand-in keeper Sach was (correctly) sent off for a last-man foul. Then we had to play the last half-hour with ten men and Maxim in goal. But… We really showed our character and team togetherness when our backs were against the wall. 💪 Tom shoring things up at CB, Anton (MotM) and Josh battling tirelessly to deny them space and time to threaten the goal, and a big-hearted performance from our improvised midfield to make sure we were still threatening on the break. They got a couple back, but then Rashardo broke their spirit with a second goal, ending it at 5-3. That secures us a guaranteed fourth place in our first season in the top division. If we can pick up the three points in our final league game next week, there’s still a chance of third. PR 7.5

Solid team performance from the boys. Each player did his bit and carried out what the coaches had asked of them. Back 4 solid, a special mention for Cory who was asked to step in at centre back and had a faultless game. The midfield combos worked well in the middle and the wide men also were dangerous playing the front men in all through the game. Aiden saved a penalty and over all a very very positive attitude towards the game that they got thier just rewards.

That’s more like it! Our best performance of the season - in the way we pressed and hassled them tirelessly, and worked for each other as a team to turn a game that looked like a draw into a resounding win. Abi, Mustafa and Tom superb at breaking up play and launching attacks from midfield. Rashardo MotM for his intensity and workrate. Jamel excellent with workrate up front and some crucial tracking back, also combining well to set Alex up for the third goal. And - a nod to captain fantastic Sachin, who kept up the aggression and passion, and showed great intelligence to shift our formation around when they started to get some joy in the midfield. We’ve had some difficult games against Forest over the past couple of seasons, so it’s good to finally chalk up a convincing three points. PR 9.0

Pleasing, commanding performance from the V’s with each and every player doing their bit for the team and playing for each other. The defence looked solid covering and sweeping up anything HSM tried to throw at them. The midfield adapted well and picked up the 1st and 2nd balls, made challenges and played some very good football along the ground, opening up HSM. The score could have been double, with chance after chance being created. Bit of controversy over the last goal, a long range free kick from Cory, fumbled by the keeper, not sure if over the line and, Zain making sure it went it, so I’m not going to give it to either of them unless they sort in out between themselves, as I didn’t see it! So OG for the goal keeper!! Solid performance, well done boys!

The most disciplined performance of the season. Each and every player did their part when called upon. The opposition had chances but Aiden and the back four remained solid. The midfield all put a shift in and we're swapped in and out as they challenged every ball and played their way through the opposition, Chrisitan with a long range effort from the right touchline. The front two bagged 8 goals between them, with some excellent interplay between Zain and Jack. The pleasing thing was that the coaches had taken individuals aside and told them what we expected and areas of their game we expected them to work on and this was implemented in today's game.

Kayhan scoring our goal with virtually the last kick of the half… Second half and just our luck the wind changed direction, but with a few personal changes in midfield and up top, the V’s dominated and pulled it back to 4-3, with some good, on the ground football being played the V’s way instead of trying to hoof the ball up the field into the wind. I think Aiden touched the ball about 3 times in the second half but at the other end we just could not finish and eventually ran out of time. The boys showed some excellent team spirit in the second half, just a shame about our slow start to the first! Shooting practice on Saturday lads…… PR 7.0

Some great football today - crisp passing and combinations - and it took a lot to break down PP who basically sat deep and attacked on the counter. But we got our goal from a lovely Kye through ball which was pounced on and finished well by Veer. First half was a bit of a struggle with Sachin coming off with an injury, but we switched the system in the second and dominated the play, with Tom, Mustafa and Jamie excellent in midfield. A superb MotM performance from Santi who defended brilliantly but also broke up the play and didn’t stop working for a moment as he came forward to give the opposition a big problem on the left.

The determined, want to play football V's turned up today, unlike last week. Good solid performance by the entire team, where each player did the job they were asked to do and played for each other. The first have we scored in the first 5 minutes with Shayquan finishing off a well worked move, and although the boys dominated we only created a handful of chances in the first half and went in one up. The second half performance was much more pleasing to watch, with the ball being moved on the ground and down the channels which led to Pritchard scoring his first for the club, Shayquan competing his hat-trick and Jack getting rewarded with a brace, after some excellent hold up play. Good all round team performance by the Vs.

Not what we wanted but a good all-round performance despite the disruption with injuries - and a blatant offside goal which got them back in it. We came from behind with a composed finish from MotM Jamel who followed up with a well taken penalty (great bravery to step up!). The score flatters them a bit (their fourth came from a breakaway after we threw everything forward to get an equaliser at 2-3) but they’re a strong, physical side with plenty of quality, and we matched them well - after a heavy defeat in the first game of the season.

What a difference a month and goalkeeper makes! Last time we played them without a keeper we got hammered today we were in total control apart from a 10 minute spell in the first half. Kayhan opened the scoring with a great individual dribble and strike from about 25 yards out and Cory doubled our lead with a well executed free kick from about 35 yards out straight into the top corner. 2-0 at halftime. Second half was all V's after the first five minutes where Aiden had to make a couple of saves. Shayquan scored with a powerful header and from then we caught them on the counter with Archie finishing off a well worked move. We got another free kick on the edge of the box and this time Zane drilled it straight pass the keeper into the top left hand corner. A sold all round team / squad effort. PR 9.0

A bit of a battle today, with an outstanding first half performance followed by a panicky scramble to stop the unthinkable, losing or drawing after being 5-0 up at half time.

Some delightful football played, with nice quick triangle combinations and down the line balls. They couldn’t handle our work rate and intensity, which was a joy to behold.

And then the ref levelled it with a mysterious penalty for something which nobody saw. Even the Pitshanger coaches were mystified. But we’re still not attacking and challenging for the ball hard enough - owning the fifty-fifty's, claiming headers… And we are terrible at corners - both defending and attacking.

A great result against a decent side. Abi and Tom doing the dirty work in the centre, and a terrific defensive performance where I thought we worked really well as a unit - including a vocal Max. Maxim was terrific with intelligent interceptions, shutting down crosses and denying space, and Josh was immense at his side - a deserved MotM for his physical battling, strong heading and quick reactions to danger. Alex is growing into the forward role with every game, and I thought he was excellent today - a real handful, good on the ball, smart movement. Won a penalty, scored a goal, should have been given a second - from a shot which clearly nudged the inside of the crossbar and bounced out. No VAR at this level, though. 😐 Awesome attacking play from Kye - great dead ball delivery, a constant influence on our creative play, and helping himself to a goal and converting the penalty. Just. 😉Most of all, though, we showed resilience and team spirit on a day where we were missing a few key players. We worked hard for each other and the win was well deserved. PR 8.0

OG from a corner for our first, and a brilliant bit of battling from Rashardo for the winner from a tight angle.

Tough first match of the season. First half we were absolutely dominated, some fine defending and goal keeping kept us in the match. Much better in the second half but both teams struggled to get a shot away. Great battle overall, not so good in the final third. PR 6.0
