Very nice resultsWednesday Report.
LGE: VICTOR FC 1-1 LONDON CITY
Despite taking the lead through Marcus Bentley (20), we never found our form, and once Victor Fc had equalised on the stroke of half-time, I think a draw was all we really deserved.
CL: HOLZBEINKICKERS 3-0 LONDON CITY
Not much to say here. We were outclassed, despite having the stronger team on paper. We tried an experimental formation, that totally screwed up. Went back to our normal 4-4-2 at half time, but by then the damage had been done.
Manager Barry Wheeler was none too pleased with the squad tonight, and sent them out for an extra training session under the floodlights at 9.45pm. The league draw, while not the end of the world, could be significant come the end of the season. As regards the Champs League, well the sooner we get over that, the better. Fortunately, we had already qualified prior to the match, but our opponents are now level on points with us, and we have just a one goal advantage going into the final group match. The game was notable for 2 firsts for us. Our first defeat of the season (in all competitions), and the first time we have failed to score.
As a footnote to this, my closest rivals for the league, actually lost their match tonight (and their unbeaten record), to leave me 1 point clear at the top and the only team in the league, still unbeaten. So perhaps that draw wasn't so bad after all.![]()
