Youth Team
Firstly. Amazing to be back. Hairs standing on end. Was super excited to be at roots hall. Couldn't stop smiling. Probably an anti climax tbh but it's a point.
1st half
Ok. Pressed well and had a few opportunities. Still no clear cut opportunities. First 30 mins pushed forward reasonably well although it was... Win ball pass it back pass it sideways and hoof for cardwell to flick on to walker. Liked walker btw. Last 15 we had 5 at the back, midfield deep and strikers trying to press and York playing some neat passing triangles.
2nd half
We took the last 15 minutes of the first half and ramped up the long balls and hoping for a mistake and defending the lead. (I'm sure thats what we did last year.) York changed shape to 3 at the back and Nathaniel George coming on he showed having a creative attacking player can unlock an opportunity (the set piece coming from his play). We had one awesome opportunity which we thought was in. We can't rely on half chances and and balls dropping to a player that might be able to tuck one away. Too much ball to the opposition, too much chasing the ball.
Lots more to do but we still have a team to watch and 7900 fans. Amazing
