Werder disappointment

It was a disappointing 3 - 1 defeat in the game on Monday as the untypical weather of recent weeks continued. It was a lovely evening again and we were strengthened by the return of the regulars so that we had two subs despite Dom being unavailable.

Richie - goalkeeper

Dougie, Craig, Dave, Phil, Matt C, new Matt - swapping between defence and midfield, even attack on occasion

Iain - upfront

It was a close game and one which we would not have been flattered by a draw. There were a few chances to both sides but we turned round a goal down to a slightly fortuitous goal from a corner. There were chances to level with me going round the keeper but firing into the side netting as the defence closed in for example but it looked like one of those nights. Phil let fly several times and was unlucky not to score.

However, an equalizer did come and it resulted from a bit of dribble for a change before I hit a left footed shot home across the keeper. Matt C had a stab with his left foot but it went wide and suddenly the game became very open. Sadly for us two left footed strikes were hit home in quick succession to leave us 3 - 1 down but we were still creating chances, the best of which saw the big fella at the back at the front but his shot went narrowly wide of the empty goal. He was unfortunate not to join Dave and Dom in opening their accounts for the season(s). Perhaps next week?
