Amos goal kick goes long, Josh loses the header. Solly to take a throw in in their half. Clarke flicks it over the defender and wins a throw. Solly now, swings it into the middle. Pearce has it.
He carries it, finds JDS, 1-2 with Fosu, JDS has it back, inside to Holmes, finds Fosu inside, across to Kashi... shoots! PUNCHED away by Oxley, and cleared even more and they counter. McGlashan on the break but Ricky stopped him. Pearce now, to Kashi, to Holmes on the attack, out to Mag, now Fosu, chips it into the box but Hendry clears for a corner.
Corner into the box, carnage in there, they clear. Clarke, chips it forward, Holmes shoots, blocked, JDS has it, Fosu has his shot blocked, now Solly, to Fosu... silly free kick given and the pressure ends.
They are on the attack, they cross but Josh clears, they cross again, we clear and counter! Holmes and Clarke and Fosu on the attack, Fosu finds Holmes, but they break it down and we are annoyed it's not a free kick. Holmes got smashed into the hoardings. HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, says Steve Thompson probably.
We have it in the middle. Solly to JFC out wide, crosses... Oxley gets a hand in there, Pearce has the shot after being teed up by Holmes, but it goes wide. Better from us.
Oxley goes long with the GK, Ranger wins the header, chases the ball. Holmes does well, now JDS and Clarke combine, Clarke nearly got in there, but there was a foul by Leonard and we get a free kick just inside their half.
We knock it around at the back for ages. Southen close us down, that's their gameplan.
Fosu in the middle, finds JDS, beats Lenny, inside to Clarke, now left to Holmes runs towards the box, crosses to Josh but just too high. solly keeps it in, Solly crosses, again too high for Josh, JDS now, crosses, Josh wins the HEADER BUT IT IS SAVED!
Oxley clears. Pearce and Ranger battle it out, Cox and Kightly combine, Hendry crosses, JFC clears. Throw to them in our half, near our box. Taken slowly.
Lenny launches it long into the box. Ranger loses out to Bauer, now Lenny again who takes another throw option.
Long into the box, Ranger Vs Solly... Josh gets in there. Timlin across to Bwomono, cleared by us. They knock it around a fair bit.
McGlashan and Timlin combine, nice ball, Cox shoots but Pearce blocks really well.
