Reading Town Youth 3 (1)

Maidenhead United Youth 2 (2) 


I am afraid we are very Jekyll and Hyde at the moment. Last match we were superb this match shocking.
We are also carrying too many injuries at the minute without cover. Reading started the game the more eager and scored within minutes of the start when we failed to pick up a good through ball from midfield leaving the Reading player the easy task of slotting home.

Reading completely dominated the 20 minutes with us on the back foot. On our first real attack we equalised when good work out wide saw Ian Henry drive low across the box for Ryan Hazell to side foot home. This picked us up and we then took the game to Reading and found some tempo. This pressure saw us go 2-1 in front when good work from Sami Hached down the wing set up Abraham Osho who shot past the diving keeper.

We couldn't have had a worse start to the second half when Reading equalised when we failed to defend the far post within the opening minute of the period. This saw Reading up their game. Reading went into the lead when they were awarded a penalty in the 75th minute.

Although we made 3 subs they did little to about turn our form. We nearly equalised in the last 5 minutes when Sam Lock headed over the bar from a corner.

All in all a bad day at the office.
