Evening boys,

Wanted to leave the report a little later this week as we aren’t training so it’s fresh in your mind heading into Sunday, PLAYER DATA is also available on your player accounts.

Lads well done, what a gritty performance away from home, I spoke before about needing young men in the game, poor weather & each and every one of you gave me that I can ask no more of the output from you as a group!

The game itself if I’m honest lads lacked quality throughout, it was two teams who looked very nervy on a big day, this is normal, I spoke about being compact in the opening stages as we didn’t want to be chasing the game and we really were, Maidstone tried to move the ball to be fair to them but I thought we nullified any sort of threat & we looked dangerous on the break with Kai & Malik out wide.

I thought we deserved to take the lead when Lemar chased down a long throw & swivelled, a wonderful finish mate, well done AND another big goal in a big game.

After that lads I thought we took the sting out of the game well, taking our times on throws, Oscar dictating the tempo & they hit us with a sucker punch when we didn’t win a second ball in midfield (although I thought we done this brilliantly all afternoon) & in fairness to the lad up top it was a great finish, these things happen & I thought our reaction when we regrouped at half time was exactly what I’ve come to expect of this group.

The second half was much of the same, most of the game played in the middle third & I would love us to RELAX more in the final third boys, we at times look so panicked in advanced areas.. RELAX take an extra touch and find the right pass, although the back four were outstanding all afternoon, Doniel I thought you was excellent when you came on!

With the game looking like it was going to fizzle to penalties.. that moment boys, a wonderful delivery from you Leon, I say it every week but for me you have the best delivery in the league & we make no apologies for the goals we have scored from them, Theo a perfectly timed run & a wonderful glancing header… followed by the SCENES.. moments like that is why we all love this wonderful game!

After that of course the final 5 mins was always going to be frantic but when we defended that final corner & the ref blew the full time whistle you could see how much it meant to the group, all of you well done, but I want to reiterate, getting to a final means nothing boys, the achievement is winning the competition & we are very close to doing something very special for the club!

Stay locked in & let’s ensure we back it up with a massive game against Erith on Sunday, they are the last team to beat you boys.. so we owe them one.

See you Sunday chaps
