This week Futera FC welcomed CSFC to their home pitch. CSFC are early front runners with victories over well fancied teams. They had scored plenty of goals in their first 2 games, so we knew that we would have to be at our best in today's game.
The game started with CSFC pressurising the home goal with fast paced counter attacking and good defensive pressure off the ball. I thought that we dealt with most of their efforts but seemed to struggle at set pieces. We are quite a tall team but still managed to allow CSFC players into areas where they could cause danger.
The first goal against us was disappointing because the same happened against Celtic Reserves. What impresses me as general manager is that we have good belief in our team. We do not roll over and showed good courage in battling in every situation.
This showed when we defended a corner for the opposition really well and this led to Jack scoring a wonder goal. He finished well but created the chance for himself and showed just how good he can be.
I felt sorry for Jack a little, as he had to battle by himself for large parts of the game.
The team was not helped by individual errors which undone so much good work. I have held my hands up for my part in nearly throwing the game away. As General Manager I have to be honest, especially as I play also. I did not play well today and have apologised for my part in the CSFC goals. Especially the penalties. I do not make excuses and will now give other players a chance who have waited patiently. I will work hard and hope to return to the kind of form that I know I can produce.
For the rest of the game we pushed hard and I am glad that Renan has been able to cap another impressive performance with a great goal. He has made an exceptional start to the season.
Overall, I think the virtual managers should be impressed and content with our start. 5 points from 3 games, unbeaten and the constant threat that we pose should make for a good season. Bring on the cup!
