Feisty game, strong performance and and excellent result.
Maynard Brewer - solid between the post, nothing he could do about the pen
Quade Taylor - sent off in the 13th minute, didn’t see it but sounds like a last man red card, shame for him
Barnes, Orlu, Connors - all excellent and didn’t seem fazed by the dismissal of Taylor, all defended well and still offered a threat up front, especially Connors who should have had a penalty for a surging run into the box and was clipped just inside the box
Monlouis, Smith - worked well to bring our attackers into the game, closed down the opposition and stopped Tonbridge dominating when they went a man up with clever positioning, kept a good shape, made some important tackles
Ijaha - BEAST. Did everything. Great passing. Greater tackles. Monster runs through the middle. Scored a brilliant header. Lead the team. I think he likes it when the opposition sing his name.
Clunis, Mills, Monakana - all lead the line very well despite not getting much service. Clunis and Monakana looked hungry when out of possession, chasing everything and working hard for their team. Balls into the box are getting better, still need someone to put them in the back of the net. Mills is quality, again winning everything against the Tonbridge CB’s.
Ref - some things never change...
Overall we managed the game exceptionally well considering we went a man down. The team looks vastly improved, we still have a few first team players out injured. We looked better after Quade was sent off, Tonbridge looked better when they had their keeper sent off. What a start to the season! Roll on Tuesday!
