WINNINGTON AVENUE 1 MARY DENDY 2
FIRST WIN FIRST POINTS FIRST GOALS
Another nice day for football and again a different squad to choose from.
Plenty of faces for Shep to choose from against the team Dendy did the double against last season. To be fair to Winnington this was a completely different side to last season. It looked like Winnington struggled to put out a side and even with the manager in goal they had a bare 11.
The game started and Dendy had a decent looking side out. I was thinking easy win and first points for Dendy. I should have known better as a typical slow start for Dendy and some poor passing at the back gifted Winnington a one on one with our stand in keeper and to my horror Dendy were behind. Dendy huffed and puffed for the rest of the half but didn't really trouble a Winnington side who to be fair worked hard and had a keeper in inspired form. I think Dendy struggled again to get the team to gel and over played at times with players wanting to impress being caught in procession whilst last man far too often for my old heart.
half time 1-0 to Winnington Ave
At half time Shep echoed the sidelines despair and disappointment and told them to go out and win it.
The second half Dendy put last weeks man of the match back to right back where i think he should have started, he also put Max on to the wing to give some composure. Dendy at last started to show that they may score but poor finishing and shooting and being frustrated by the hard work of Winnington they couldn't find the goal they needed. It was a fortunate goal for Dendy that equaled the score when SI LEE shot through a crowed box and it ended in the corner of the net and it was 1-1.
Dendy then brought on a promising new young striker with 30 mins to go and it was he who broke the deadlock with a goal beating the off side trap. Winnington disagreed strongly but the goal stood. Winnington should have made it 2-2 when Curbo was caught in procession and thankfully between him and our keeper managed to clear it.
The whistle went and Dendy had scraped a win. A game we should have won comfortable. At times i think Dendy over played and to give credit to Winnington they tried to the end with a bare 11 of new players. They will get stronger or fold i feel all depending on getting players.

Thoughts.
Should have started with Scott at right back.
promising games for the new centre half. He needs to learn against better teams he will get the ball taken off him if he over plays.
Luke needs to be more positive sometimes when he has the ball.
Nice to see Adam and Si Lee back in the side and curbo doing some decent shots.
A promising start for the centre forward and i look forward to watch him play again. If he gets support and service he might fill the massive gap Scott left when he moved on to a higher standard. We wish him well.
Disappointing to see Hammas has given up on us.
Sooner Perry is back in goal and we get a more settled side the better.
man of the match was Si Lee. It was a hard choice as nobody really stood out today.
Max saved Crubo from the Donkey by peeing whilst drunk in his house with his girlfriend looked on in horror. Toilet next time mate.
