A far better performance than Saturday. Maybe not the quality in the opposition half but far more resolute and the hard work and attitude was what we expect. The opening spells lacked penetration but most duels went our way and the intent was there. A few good opportunities were thwarted by strong defending. Resulting corners were a threat but an inconsistent delivery left Looe unpunished. Around 30mins in a corner was cleared but only as far as Will Ferguson, who crossed superbly for captain of the evening Jake White to send a brilliant header into the corner to take the lead. HT 1-0.

HT discussions were based upon improving our final ball, being brave with our shape and squashing any revival. To my relief we extended our lead around 53mins. A Robbins free kick 35yards from goal to the right was expected to be whipped in. But Robbins and Bartolini were far more aware of the positioning than the sleeping left back. Robbins slipped the ball inside the full back to Bartolini charging towards the byline who smashed the ball across the 6yd box to the onrushing Pearce for his 1st goal upon his return to the club. The first of many no doubt. 

From then on there was a little more comfort and confidence, but still lacking in the final ball. A hard surface ran the ball through to the goalkeepers at both ends all game, as well as us lacking technical quality in possession in key areas. An off day for Easterbrook and the missing WestallC was evident, but there's still plenty of ability in our large squad to win games, which was pleasing to see. Ferguson again looked sharp as he did in Spring which was another positive. A debut for 16yr old Ed Clarke was another good option with the young striker looking dangerous both aerially and in his movement. One to keep an eye on. Onto Saturday with the luxury of Blaise Park.
