Match Report - 03 Dec 2017, Clapham Rovers Clapham Rovers lost to Streatham Stanley
Rovers!
Rovers 1-3 Streatham Stanley
A much improved performance but sadly a third loss in a row.
A combination of poor defending, wayward finishing and another stonewall penalty given away by myself when we were pushing for the equaliser told the story.
We started well and were knocking the ball around nicely. The returning Cliff brought a fine save from the keeper early doors when he was played through and was denied at very close range with a flying stop.
We went behind in a disappointing manner. A free kick was lofted in from the right hand side and a Streatham Stanley forward was left unmarked to carefully and deliberately guide the ball in with his bonce.
Their second came from a poor free kick which was given away. Pybus was beaten at the near post as the ball lofted over the wall, appeared to be going out and then spun back over Pybus’s dive and into the net.
At half time we knew were still in it and started the second with renewed vigour. We were unlucky from a few trademark runs from Seb which he was unable to put home.
We did however, take the lead from another one of those runs. Seb went down the left, cut inside and drew a save from the keeper who could only parry to Al who slipped it home. Cliff then almost scored from another Seb cross but could only ease the ball over the bar as he flew onto the lose ball.
Sadly, I then snuffed our chance of getting back in the game by giving away a penalty. G cleared the ball from the edge of the box but it cannoned straight into one of their attackers. He laid it into the path of his forward in my left back position as I pushed up expecting another attack. I rashly took him down and the penalty was dispatched as Streatham won 3-1.
MOM – Seb took this for his jet heeled forays down the wing, his assist and unlucky efforts off the woodwork.
Sunday 10th December Fixture
This Sunday sees in return to London Sunday Trophy action vs a team from our league, AFC Balham. We’ve never beaten these and for good reason. We have never really given a good account of ourselves and they play some nice stuff. I feel their league position is a false one so we can expect a really tough encounter. Let’s keep the good play from Sunday and cut out the errors!
