Watton 5 Wanderers 2

 
 
A much better display from Mulbarton (who are still struggling for players)
A new line up saw Pastie starting in goal and he gave a solid performance tipping a few shots over the bar. Rory was determined to put himself about especially in the first half and scored within a few minutes-the game looked at least even at this stage but the boys thought they could win it and rightly so. There was good work a rate from most of the team but unfortunately we don't have the players to substitute tired players or ones that don't perform on the day. An equaliser then followed and another taking watton to a 2-1 lead at half time.
The second half saw us pressurising for another goal and a weak clearance from a Mulbarton corner saw Zach bring the ball down just outside the 18 yard box and then rifle it into the top right corner. At this point we had the momentum and if we had more strength in depth we would have finished them off but we tired and made some errors-namely not attacking another corner effectively and letting Watton score on the break.
Two more players and we could challenge anyone in the league. man of the match pastie -kept us in the game for most of it!

 

Harling 12 Wanderers 0

 
 
Last season the south Norfolk league was dominated by Rocklands and Harling. This season they opted for the harder Norfolk league and one of those teams will win it. Harling's ground was impressive and they play on a FULL SIZE pitch with ADULT goals, they also know how to utilise that extra space. High looping shots stranded the keeper and all of their players were of a good standard. Angus was left isolated up front and he and Christian had to come back to midfield to find the ball. The difference with this match was the boys work rate-it was mostly excellent. Connor was strong and worked hard, so did Aaron who was carrying an injury. Pastie was his usual battling self and bravely kept goal in the second half. Cam and Dion were workaholics and were shining examples to the others. We need them all to show the same enthusiasm as Pastie Cam and Dion and in every game.
We also need new players so the ones who don't work hard will have to earn their place. I know we have a few in the academy but if anyone can help then please do. We also need a sponsor for a new kit and wet weather gear so again any help will be appreciated.
Cam Lee was man of match.

 

Wanderers 0 Rocklands 7

 
The first home game saw us given a tough football lesson by a good side. A slow start saw us let in early goals. But some good saves, blocks and clearances from Rory and the defence saw an improvement on last week. Our attack had few chances but on another day we would have got some reward for our efforts.
The second half saw a better effort from several players both full backs had busy games Connor battled well. Cam showed big effort in the way he chased and harassed. Zack made some good tackles and blocks.
Man of the match today was Rory who made countless good saves and shouted to wake his team mates up.
Let's hope we start next weeks game with the same effort and desire we showed at the end of today's game.
If you all put 100% into the game the coaches and parents don't mind what the score is if you've tried.

 

Jex Rangers 4 Wanderers 0

 
A couple of late injuries to two key players saw us down to the wire before kick off. However we can't make excuses for such a poor performance. After 5 minutes we all thought Jex were there for the taking, the only weapon in their arsenal was the long ball. Our boys with a few marginal exceptions were afraid to put tackles in, put heads on the ball and in essence didn't want to win as much as Jex.
If they play like they do in a kick about after training then that apathy is not to be found.
Well done Angus for battling with an injury a shining example to the others.
