Broadfields United (Hive) The Middlesex Courtney Match Thread

[Doyley]

That’s a strong line up against a team I’ve never heard of!

[hoofer2]

Would have not played Gorman... maybe Brennan has been keeping back players to be ready for Chesterfield

Will know on Saturday

[#Beebot]

Anybody know who Nistor and Blower are?

Nistor is the U16 keeper. Jack Blower is from the U18s

Based on that first half Sam Barratt won't get anywhere near the first team. Abysmal.
Marvin Armstrong's approach play is brilliant but he cannot finish.

Where was it going wrong for him?

If Marvin Armstrong could finish, we would of won in that eastleigh game

Full time 1-0.

Job done.

No info on subs in second half.

Finlay Potter and Revan on for Collinge and Oluwo.
Seemed to me that there was a deliberate team effort by Broadfields to wind-up Gorman but to his credit he stuck to his game.

disjointed performance barely playing at 33% speed!only real positive is minutes in the bank for 13 first team squad members.

[ninestein]

Sounds like Oluwo got some much needed minutes. Bodes well for the week ahead!

Very passive performance from us. Broadfield caused us a surprising number of problems and we really didn't create much. We moved the ball to slowly. I thought Hooper must have placed a bet that he could play 90 minutes without touching the ball. In the first half alone he dummied playing the ball to create chances for others on three separate occasions. To be fair, he was rather isolated and looked much more effective on the rare occasions we got men around him, but he had diddly squat service.

Barratt looked incredibly rusty and just kept running into to traffic and getting dispossessed.

Overall a disappointing performance from what was a strong team on paper.

Often the case for one reason or another when it comes to county cup games...?

How did Jordan Gillmore look in goal for us?
Can we be confident should he be needed to step into the 1st team?

solid handling, had one hairy moment when he went walkabouts! would trust him as an in game sub but if Laurie was out for a while would expect a more senior loanee to be brought in.
