The First Half:

First cup game of the season, the game started much better than the previous game, maybe this is because this week we actually had a bit of a warm up. The game wasn-t as physical as the week before and -Slade- were playing a superb passing game leaving their oppponents standing. Unfortunately we were unable to convert any chances that came our way which is becoming an reoccuring theme. Once again the opponents were forced to shoot from long range and the defence managed to deal with all the long balls. Against the run of play Medway Athletic scored just before half time which took the wind out of -Slade-.

The Second Half:

The second half didn-t start quite aswell as the first half but there were still some good passing moves but fitness showed as passing started to become slack and long balls were being played regularly and we were still unable to score once again. Chances fell to both centre backs Pierce & O-Brien who were unable to convert.

Analysis:

First half was absolutely fantastic with some of the best passing moves you will see all year, need to start testing the Goalkeeper more as we seem hesitant in front of goal. Fitness needs to be worked on to continue playing well throughout the whole game.
