What a nail biter of a match!

It wasn’t pretty on a cold & wet Sunday afternoon against Brighton, though it did start well with two early set piece goals. But then the lack of discipline reared it head again with Conor Gallagher sent off with two yellows in the 1st half leaving the boys to defend a 2-1 lead with only ten men the rest of the match. Brighton held lots of possession for the much of the 2nd half and led to many nervy moments, but a challenge on a breakaway by Mudryk where he was pushed & tripped in the box was rewarded a penalty, and Enzo Fernandez coolly puts it straight pass Jason Steele to the Blues some breathing room. It was badly needed as there were 10 minutes of added time which clawed back on another easy goal off a corner kick bring the deficit to one. There was one more controversial moment where there was a VAR review for a handball which turned out to be off of Levi Colwill’s head, got rewarded generously with a drop kick (huh?) rather that a corner kick to Brighton. Ending the match 3-2.

Up next, a short week & trip up to Manchester to face the Red Devils at Old Trafford. The last match ended in a very ugly 1-4 defeat with caretaker manager Frank Lampard in charge. Let’s reset and forget about those matches and get back to some clean & discipline football!

Come on down to the Londoner Addison this Wednesday afternoon on and kick it with the Shed End Dallas crew. We look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers,
