game 2 was against still in my eyes the team to beat whiston, but a game i have been looking forward to be part of since last season ended, the game between saints and whiston have been contested strongly for 3 seasons and this season is not going to be any change, saints had the bit between thier teeth and started brill, shape was good, tackles were good and play was quick, saints should have had 3 goals in the first half but bad last touches just let the ball to the whiston keeper, he also made a great save, the cat saved a few long range shots but the saints got the deserved goal through wilson, a player who whiston could have signed but chose not to( thankfully), a nice piece of football played which jack skipped passed trailing legs and crossed a fizzer low which wilson slotted in, second half and just to show how unbiased i am, whiston threw everything at the saints and was on top for most of the half, and if they had scored it would have prob been whiston who went on to win the game saints did have chances of counter attacks and could have got a second through james as he sent one wide on another occasion whistons keeper pulled off a great save but it was down to the saints defence of chris, the cat and man of the match lewis finch who had his best game in the red and white shirt, what a player this lad is turning out to be, it was down to these 3 that saints hung on and deserved the 3 points not the academy players, sorry the center of excellence players which burnley has allowed to play,( stated in thier letter ) it allways suprises me when opposition players and managers refer to certain players when mini soccer is played by 7 or squads of 10, i suppose im old fashioned and think of football as a team game, lots of action in the second half and it was a great game and as i say whiston are the team which eveyone wants to beat, thats the biggest compliment a team could have.
man of match every player was fantastic for the game and concentration was first class but lewis finch had his best game in a saints shirt well done lewis |
