A trip to Rochdale today on a very muddy pitch, not great for either team. All the boys observed the minutes silence impecably for Rememberance Day before the game and that was a nice touch.

We started well although as the pitch had a few bobbles here and there Josh was unlucky to let one in, we soon got one back with Tom strong tapping a volley in from Jack Lee, Shortly after Tom added another, drifting inside the box losing his marker 2-1. Morgan Champagnie added another after a nice peice of dribbling to make it 3-1 at half time. It wasnt all our way though our defence had to work really hard to stop the Rochdalian attack. After the break they soon scored which was doen to a defensive mix up and it should have been cleared 3-2, we then upped it a few gears and went for the jugular, Tom got another to complete his hatrick, Morgan decided he wanted to go one better and scored another 3.

Some excellent work today from the defence Marcus and Jaydon solid, with Belani, Nathan and Sam, in different parts of the game. Jack Lee (CAPT),Declan, Low, Dill, Tom and Stan in the middle all grafting throughout, and the strikers Tom and Morgan.

This week the parents couldnt seperate the giggs type work of Declan who was excellent today from the Dzeko style of football that Morgan produced today beating defenders for pace, outsmarting the keeper on 4 occassions therefore both Decs and Morgan were named Man of the match and rightly so, well done lads.
Final Score 2-7
Morgan Champagnie 4
Tom Strong 3
Declan and Morgan Joint MOM

Overall a great team performance again, well done, and Believe in yourselves. See you at training wednesday!!
