Match report	Another match in which we didn't really get going until the second half. We have a very talented group of individuals who are capable of playing well as a team. Sadly, for the first 20 minutes today we didn't play well as a team and several players put in below par performances. The League table tells the story well. We can score goals, but we leak far too many at the other end. Today, for 20 minutes we failed to tackle back sufficiently or to close down players on the edge of the area. As a result, we were 3-0 down at half time and 5-0 down after 25 minutes. Four of those goals came from powerful shots from around the edge of the area, the other being a corner that eluded two Fulford players before being poked home by a grateful Tadcaster striker. We need to talk more to each other and think about how we play. A short accurate pass will always be a better option than hoofing a long ball back to the opposition. In the last 10 minutes we started to pass the ball better and were much more influential in terms of possession and territorial advantage. We were rewarded with a very well taken consolation goal by Andy who, having dribbled down the right wing, cut inside and finished powerfully from a narrow angle. Andy's tackling during the match and his goal secured hum the MoM nod.
