Tough Opponents, Blazing Hearts
'A tough day at the office' was the team talk at the final whistle. Back to cup action for the Blazers and another big away game this time at Cottage Farm Rangers. Bright spells of play to start both halves had the Blazers fans dreaming of a cup final at the end of the season. Even though they worked hard to win the ball and were making good use of the wings, the result was not in Blazers favour.
View from the bench:
A tough game for the boys, we need to learn from this and move on and use it as part of the learning process
Blazer of the Week - Daniel
Daniel - A deserved Blazer of the week award. Was on his toes throughout the game, diving at the feet of on rushing strikers and pulled off several worldie saves to keep the ball out.
James - Showed his positional awareness, moving back and forth across the defence to cover the space or mark the attackers tightly.
Luca - His energy levels were high throughout, showing his pace to keep with the attackers and was flying around the pitch to press the ball particularly second half.
Levi - Had tricky feet throughout, never phased by having 2 or 3 defenders around him. Moving the ball to find space for the pass or to move it forward.
Noah - Talkative throughout, organising the defence and encouraging of his team mates. Composed on the ball even when under pressure, always looking for a pass out.
Nathan - Always offering the passing option, sneaking in to key spaces to move the defenders around, or give an option for a pass. Helping out in defence with great positional awareness.
Wyatt - Combative in the middle of the park. Kept on disrupting the play of the attackers and brought the ball forward with confidence, having a number of shots at goal.
Chance - Was in the thick of the action in defence. Tenacious in his approach to winning the ball back and keeping it.
Josh - Kept himself busy up top. Keeping the pressure on the defenders when the ball went loose and made a number of great passes to the wings.
Freddie - Had a busy time on the wing, picking the ball up and keeping it moving with fast moving feet. Put in the yards to track back as well.
We go again Blazers!
