Match Report - 13 Feb 2011, Clapham Rovers Clapham Rovers beat PSJ


Rovers 6 - PSJ 1

For the second week running we played PSJ and once again we came away with a 3 points in a routine victory. I had hoped that changing to a 3-4-3 formation would yield more goals than the previous week but I forgot about the human brick wall that is 'Pastie' in the PSJ net. He had another stormer and pulled off saves that a 40 year old, short, fat bloke should not be making. In the same unassuming style, I bet he's got a Supermodel girlfriend, £10 million in the bank and a 15 inch cod piece. In saying that we still missed quite a few chances and it should've been at least 10.

We also afforded PSJ two penalties, one being a complete joke of a decision from the referee and the other being a stonewall penalty from a blatant handball. As I was in goal, i'll claim the first penalty as my save due my Grobbelaar-esque wobbly legs and my loud announcements that 'I'm good at penalties.' As it ballooned over the bar I savoured the thought that my record of saving penalties has increased to 75% from 66.6% That's 3 out of 4 if you're interested.

We must improve our marking from set pieces. Twice the marking was appalling and we're going to get punished by a better team as we so nearly did twice in the game. Twice a man was free and continuing to do this will be the difference to us getting promoted/winning the cup or not.

The goals came from the following
2 Hitman (1 assist)
2 Simon
1 Dan - An blinding finish off the underside of the bar for his first goal for Clapham Rovers
1 Nick (4 assists)

Man of the match must go to Rob Shields for a great display at centre mid showing composure, great tackling and spreading the play whenever possible.
