Meltdown

Lowestoft & District Division 1- 20/02/10

Pot Black FC- 3

Corton Seltic- 6

Match Overview- 'It's a game of two halves', 'No Shit!'. OK again we were somewhat short with only one sub Manager Danny McKinley an hour before the game, and Kev Sherwood playing in a unfamiliar centre forward position, L'Orange managed to fill one berth with Mark Lansdale making his first appearance of the year.

Obviously the score tells the story of a one sided battering, and in truth it was but surprisingly it was Pot Black dishing out the bashing in the first half. P.B took the lead after Kev Sherwood's snap shot was pawed away before Darren Boyd looped a header onto the bar before his partner in crime Darren Laws pounced to nod home.

Within in seconds of the restart, so delighted with their lead, the home side switched off before Seltic hit back with a outstanding solo goal which to Richi Reeder's credit Edwin Van Der Sar would of been helpless to prevent.

Shortly after L'Orange regained the lead as Scott Harvey was wiped out in the box after a needless challenge as Captain Boyd stepped up to stroke home from the spot.

A great move down the left between Max Wall and Adam Bird, saw Kev Sherwood released in the box as he cleverly shifted his feet to baffle the keeper before passing into the net.

Despite Seltics only shot on goal of the half hitting the net, the one way traffic continued, Adam Bird, Kev Sherwood and Max Wall saw their efforts go un rewarded, but the home sides best attempt came when Steve 'The Crab' Collins saw his long range free kick cannon off the bar.

The message at half time was clear, 'Do not take your foot off the gas! Lets go for goals!......'

MELTDOWN!!!!

A catalogue of errors, lack of communication, and inability to take instructions commenced which saw the home side produce possibly the worst 45 minutes on Pot Black record, as Seltic scored 5 unanswered goals! Too their credit 3 of the finishes were outstanding but could have all been prevented had the home side not gave away the ball.

Despite having two more players turn up during the game, who had been previously listed to the excellent Tony Belsey in the middle as Mark Lansdale, Simon McAlone and Anthony Ogogo were all thrown in as a vain attempt to fight back the 3-4 scoreline. Simon McAlone went closest as his smash from distance which flew back of the post but it was a forlorn hope as Seltic finished the job.
