A game between two sides which both teams needed to win. Defeat would practically end all hope of a good finish to the season.
Villa dominated possession throughout the game, when liam o'donell long throw cut out the forresters back line and fell matty burns who cross/shot went in off the post! Villa didnt waste much time getting a 2nd when a free kick quickly taking my dan wulters, lovely dummy by matty burns fell to liam o'donnell who crossed to back post for mikey westwood to header into the back of the net! Villa had another chance when a big kick from adrain westwood came to matty burns who went one on one, tried to chip the keeper but just over the bar. Burns had another chance with a free kick which the keeper tipped over the bar! Burns is looking dangerous. The resulting corner from darren westwood came to matty burns to head it in the back of the net for 3 - 0 inside 17 minutes. Villa havent played so comfortable since there pre season fixtures....
Villa should have had a 4th when darren westwood cleared from the 18 yard box to gift christian a one on one oppurtunity which was hit at the keeper! christian would go on to win the ball back by the corner flag only to be penalised for a foul which wasnt even a foul!!
Villa was looking dangerous with passes crosses from liam, mikey, burns and darren. looking more dangerous with solid tackles from wulla,adam,gill,russ and chris! Forresters did have half chances, unluckyly for them, there attacks were quickly delt with. They did break on the half hour with a defensive lasp by missed played pass between matt gill and russ smith led to a chance only to be denied by adrian westwood. They tried to break the Villa defence again only to be denied by a great challenge by matty gill. Liam O'Donnell went close with a half volley.
Half Time:
Nathan Nijja On Liam O'Donnell Off
2nd half started good for the villa as burnsy well timed pass sent nath nijja down the wing to win a corner. resulting in darren westwood's 'magic' corner to gift matty gill his first shelfield villa goal. Chances were coming for villa now, mikey westwood run down the right wing and lofted ball in to burnsy was unlucky not to go in. Mikety would hav another chance from a corner ball only to be deflected! Nijja and burnsy was linking up well on the left hand side, darren westwood was working hard in the centre. After a nice one two with dazza, mikey sent the ball into the 18 yard box but Bchristian was unlucky not to get there and the ball was cleared from danger. Burnsy who sneakly put the ball a few yards forward for his free kick was also unlucky not to finish. Inside villa on penalty box the ball broke for chris who layed off mikey to send burnsy down the right hand flank, to put in a good ball to christian but couldnt score! then after a threw ball by adam mikey inside the box gifted christian a golden oppurtunity but it was cleared off the line!! Christian was gettin agonisingly close.
Darren Westwood would then have a penaly decision ruled away against him. another villa free kick by darren westwood was flicked on by mikey to the backpost but christian with his weaker foot couldnt connect. Adam Liddle then sent a dangerous ball into the middle which nobody could capitalise on! Forresters did try and gain on the counter attack but brilliant defending by Dan Wulters kept them out. good two touch football from russ smith, mikey westwood and matty burns would lead to a ball from russ smith finding darren westwood to lob there left back and gift christian an open goal... goal!!!
Matty Price On = Christian Off
After Darren Westwood won the ball in the centre of the field, he would release matty burns to run down the left flank and get the ball in the box for maty price to turn onto his right foot and score!!!
Matthew Emms On = Russell Smith Off
Chris would send a long ball forward for burnsy to carry on with the ball and smash it in the bottom corner!
mikey would then switch with price to go right wing and mikey threw the centre. after a ball from chris found mikey he would lay price off on the right then a shot from price which couldnt find the goal mouth. After nice play from nijja on the left hand side he would play a one/two with burnsy which fell to emms who smashed it over the ball!! Nijja would gain the ball back on the left and shoot but fail to meet the target.
Full Time:
Shelfield Villa 7 - 0 Forresters!
