We’ve heard of story of two halves. How about story of two games. Back-to-back games in the league against Bala provided complete mirror results. In the first game we weren’t in control and couldn’t get a proper hold on the game, while we pushed them aside in the next game.
One of the signings that was made was that of 18-year-old defender Morgan Lewis. On loan from Stockport, he is adding some very much need quality to the defence. Importantly he is adding speed to our defence as well.
We came across TNS again, this time in the Cup. For the second year in a row, we are against them in the Nathaniel MG Cup, this time in the semi-finals. As if the similarities couldn’t be better, it came down to penalties after we had been stopping them from getting clear chances at goal. However, this time the penalties was a bit different, 7 kicks at the spot for each team but we came out on top again taking us to another final.
I did say it was a bit different.
We move to another back-to-back against Connah’s Quay, in the league and then the final. The league game is the final one before the table splits
A moment has come that I didn’t think I would have to deal with, after 44 appearances and 31 goals Kirby has come and said he believes he isn’t good enough to be a regular and wants to move. Admittedly I have brought in some better strikers, but he was such an important player last season in achieving promotion.
Connah’s Quay beat us 3 – 0 last time out, this time they have beaten us 3 – 1. Improvement over the season if you can say that. A very poor performance from Oliver Davis in the goal was the key reason for the loss, he seemed rooted on the spot for all the goals, attackers ran rings around him. We will be lucky to win the final in a week.
If you’d had asked me what it would have taken to win the final, the number one thing would have been a quick goal. We got just that just after the game had gone past a minute, James Breese an experienced JD Cymru Premier striker that I signed headed one in. Followed by Gore putting away a penalty a 2 – 0 win was secured. Lifting the cup for the second time.
Turning to the league, after 22 games it has been split in half. We are situated in 4th. Meaning we can lose every game now and still get 6th at least. Although I wish that doesn’t happen
