Missing three players meant an extra shift was required and we certainly got that with GD working his socks off for the team and deservedly receiving this weeks MOTM trophy.

Defensive responsibilities in the first half, producing some quality through balls and tackles that kept the opposition at bay. Protecting his GK and always looking to move the ball forward confidently and with a good weight of pass and accuracy. Something we have all been working on and something we are benefiting from week on week.

GD then moved into midfield before taking on the (probably preferred) striker role within the team. Working incredibly hard for the team, non-stop pestering of the defenders, winning the ball back, being confident to take on players and shooting when the right option was presented. Good decision making and hard work resulting in a brace on his mums birthday. Both goals taken incredibly well and struck sweetly.

It had been mentioned that he’d like to score a hat-trick however it wasn’t to be despite a very valiant effort. GD nearly notching his third after chasing down a ball everyone apart from him thought was a lost cause. Stopping the ball just in time before taking on a player and narrowly missing hitting the back of the net. It would’ve not only been a nice treat for his mum but as a reward for hard work and determination.

Mad as a box of frogs (and still in my bad books for hitting and spilling my tea the other month) but a cracking boy to have around and involved with the team. Seeing composure come into his game and developing all the time is incredibly rewarding.

The future is bright, the future is Green !
