A
full squad of 10 players turned out for this week’s match meaning that each 10
minute ¼ featured a number of changes. As a result the team never really
settled into the rhythm that they have in the last few games.
There
were some good examples of strong tackling (especially from ‘Monster of the
Match’ Frankie, George, Freddie and Eric) and good energy levels and dribbling
forward with the ball (especially from George).
The first ¼ finishing goalless
as a result. A notable save was made in the second period by Ellis with great
follow up support from Oliver when the rebound fell dangerously to the Nomad’s
striker, but Chester squeezed their first goal of the game just before the
whistle blew.
An unfortunate own goal in the 3rd ¼ - after a great
save was bundled into their own net by Waverton, was followed by a period where
Waverton heads dropped and allowed Chester to score a simple 3rd.
Waverton regained their composure in the 4th ¼ with Christopher
coming close with one of Waverton’s best chances, the final period also ending
goalless like the 1st.
With
such a good turn out the coaches had another great chance to see a number of
formations and players in different positions. Moving forward we will start to
focus the matches – meaning from the squad of 10 we will need to rest players
each week to ensure we can focus on certain tactical elements which is hard to
do with too many players to rotate.
