Showed Woodborough How To Play Total Football
Everyone turned up on time apart from Colin
Spencer who was late for a change and blamed it on Paul
Atkinson.
Jay & Rudd made Jay's Car windows steam
up and just smiled as they stepped out. We went into the
changing room and Colin gave us a speech on how to play
today's game and how we were going to take our free
kicks.
The game began on Woodborough's small pitch
and Notts were attacking at a fast rate and Woodborough
couldn't keep up with the pace. The Woodborough defence
let the ball slip thru and Marcus was on it like a flash
only for a defender to grab his shirt and pull him back
for a free kick.
Swannell stepped up to take the free kick and
simply blasted the ball wide of the goal. Notts were applying
the pressure and Woodborough were all over the place. Marcus
forced a Woodborough defender to kick the ball out for a
throw in. Atko took the throw in and Willo flicked it on
into the box and the Woodborough defender let it run to
the keeper but Marcus ran in between the defender and keeper
and lobbed the keeper from seven yards and put the ball
into the top corner of the net one nil Notts.
Woodborough started to argue between themselves
and kick off Notts carried on applying the pressure, Woodborough
just had no ideas how to crack down on these Notts attack
after a quick throw by Swannell to Marcus who flew down
the line skipping pass one defender and crossing a ball
into the box, that the keeper could only push out. The ball
went straight into the path of Atko who volleyed the ball
into the back of net to make 2 - nil.
Woodborough was getting pissed off with each
other and was trying to make the Notts players argue but
they were too busy playing football and within about 10
minutes of the restart after the second goal Willo had scored
the third after the keeper failed to pick up a simple thru
ball and Willo megs the keeper and puts the ball into the
empty net.
After that Woodborough were chasing a game that
they were never going to win but they tried, bless them
and then Marcus scored an audacious goal with his left foot.
A Woodborough defender went to put his foot onto the ball
and missed. Marcus ran straight onto the ball and shot instantly
with his left foot from about 20 yards on the right-hand
side of the box. The ball cut thru the defence like a hot
knife thru butter and left the keeper standing as the ball
hit the inside post on the left hand side and hit the net
on the right-hand side 4-nil Notts.
After that there was no more chances and the
ref blew for half time.
At half time Colin was very happy and said that
tremendous lads that's the best 45 minutes I have seen
this season. He told the subs to warm up as he was going
to make some changes within the next ten minutes.
The second half started and little happened
as Woodborough were pressing for an early goal but it didn't
come and Colin made his two subs by take Marcus and Atko
off and putting Ady Dawkins on from the second team for
his first appearance and Darren Rose the first team super
sub better known as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
About five minutes after Marcus and Atko came
off it started to throw it down with rain so we legged it
to the changing and Swino followed suit leaving Martin Lynch
to run the line and to get drenched.
Back to the football action not a lot happen
really for about 20 minutes until Woodborough got a free
kick from about 35 yards on the left-hand side of the pitch.
They pushed up an extra five people and the ball beat everyone
including the Notts keeper and went into the back of the
net 1-4 Notts.
After that Notts started to apply the pressure
again and when Ady Dawkins should have scored on his debut
but got stuck in the muddy pitch. Notts Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
popped up in the box late from a corner and scored with
his eye to make Notts win 5-1.
