Key Highlights
- Was done too easily for the opening goal, then got booked after fouling him in a similar situation and then got away with another before being hooked at half time.

- Had a chance from a set piece but looped his header onto the roof of the net. Noah Sadiki: 5/10Was isolated in midfield, didn’t seem to have enough support and often ended up overrun as a result.
- Almost got us off to the perfect start though with a great volley from a clearance needing to be tipped over. Enzo Le Fee: 5/10Tried pulling the strings in midfield and did usually pick out a team-mate, put a great deep cross onto Ballard’s head in the first half but was watching rather than closing down for the third goal.

Eliezer Mayenda: 5/10Very quiet today, had a few runs but tended to find dead ends, other than one that created a counter attack for Brobbey but that ended with a heavy touch from Mundle. Brian Brobbey: 6/10Battled well with the centre halves as usual but the passing into him was often poor, did get a goal though with a well taken header from a great Mukiele cross. SubstitutesHabib Diarra: 6/10Gave us a bit of drive in the second half and played a really good ball up the line for Mukiele, in the lead up to our goal.

Chemsdine Talbi: 6/10Put a lovely cross into Isidor late on and tried to connect with Cirkin down the left, kept the ball well but struggled to get past the full back. Wilson Isidor: 6/10Had a bit of a wild effort from Talbi’s cross and gave us more of an aerial outlet down the right. Luke O’Nien: 6/10Had a miscued cross almost fly in from wide but the goalkeeper managed to touch it onto the crossbar and Isidor couldn’t quite follow up. Man of the Match: Dan BallardFeels weird giving man of the match to a defender when we were 3-0 down at half time but he wasn’t at fault for any of them, battling well all game and sticking to the task even when the game was lost.
- Almost scored with a good header in the first half and prevented what could have been a goal late on with an important foot in to get the ball out for a corner.
