Not enough people "maning up" and stepping up to the plate was the sorry story that was the 1st XI this week, in what potentially is a season defining week for them. Players rested and out of position aside the Worthing players who took to the pitch never looked to take responsibility in very challenging conditions against a decent, but not outstanding Central Sussex side. Mistakes were aplenty in this match up, however it was the visitors who never let it phase them and as a result came away with a 4-0 victory. Changes were made, but this was too little too late. Possibly the team had one eye on the "big one" this Friday, but some didn't do themselves any favours to be apart of that team. A definite kick up the backside for the much developed 1st XI, but on a positive note they can rectify this within 48 hours and I have faith in every one of them to a man to do so!
The 2nd XI go from strength to strength after casting revenge on the only team to beat them this season, John Ruskin. According to coach Danny Cullip the boys played the conditions well and should have been 6 or 7 to the good with Liam "Des" O'Connor and Andy Herrington being the main culprits of missed opportunities. The scoreline of 2-1 seems close, however Worthing were comfortable at 2-0 with the goals coming from a Thom Taylor header and a Matt Dodd strike. Again I cant praise the lads highly enough with regards to their workrate, attitude and determination to develop and improve so excellent work and long may it last!
All in all a very mixed game day, but all must understand that consistency is key if we are to continue this excellent start of the season for both the 1st XI and 2nd XI teams.
Onwards and Upwards!
Cheers,
Hallsy
