MSR end Pre-Season with a Win
Our last Pre-Season game, saw us travel to Sports Central in Milton Keynes, as we took on MK Community FC.
MSR with a small thirteen man squad, due to our BFG Joe Doyle not turning up 🤦
MSR back to our usual formation, saw the starting XI look like this:
GK - K.Young
LB -R.Milton
CB - O.Kopanski
CB - C.Mensah
RB - G.Dennis
CDM - J.Riley
CM - D.Green
CM - B.Winton (C)
LW - C.M.Best
ST - J.Nelson
RW - H.Nadeem
MK Community had a lot of the ball in the first Ten minutes, which saw MSR having to be patient.
A poor pass saw MK Community intercept the ball and in the 12th minute, go 1-0 up.
In the 12th minute, MSR were level. Literally 30 seconds later, J.Riley levelled the scores. H.Nadeem passing the ball to Jordan, saw an absolute screamer from 25 yards out from Jordan. 1-1
MK Community still keeping a lot of the ball, but when MSR attacked, boy did every attack look dangerous.
MK Community in the 29th minute went 2-1 up, but yet again, the MSR lads showed real character and mentality as they equalised in the 30th minute.
J.Nelson doing well inside the area, passes to C.M.Best who taps home from close range. 2-2
Seven minutes later on the 37th minute, MSR took the lead. J.Nelson put a lovely through ball that split the defence. H.Nadeem running on to the ball, finished off well, as he grabbed his 4th goal in 4 games. 2-3
Halftime
H.Nadeem (Off)
K.Alexander (On)
A minute into the second half (46th minute) MK Community equalised. 3-3
Just like the first half, the lads didn't let this affect them, and once again grabbed another goal two minutes later (48th minute).
Kane passing the ball to D.Green, saw a filthy finish come from the boot of Dan. On the edge of the area, he opened his body and curled the ball into the far corner. 3-4
Five minutes later (53rd minute) MSR grabbed a fifth, and gave themselves a Two goal lead.
D.Green doing superbly down the left, got into the box and passed it across the face of goal, where J.Nelson tapped it home. 3-5
D.Green involved again, Seven minutes later (60th minute). A carbon copy of our Fifth goal. Dan gets in to the box, and passes back to K.Alexander, who taps home our Sixth. 3-6
MK Community grab a Fourth before the fulltime whistle.4-6
Some superb football on display from the MSR lads, who have ended Pre-Season with Four impressive performances, picking up Four wins from Four.
MOTM could've gone to a number of the lads. Dan Green with Two assists and a goal and Josh Nelson with Two assists and a goal, both with massive performances.
But your Professional Energy Services MOTM goes to FB R.Milton 👏
Unbelievable work rate from Ross today. A constant threat with his overlapping/underlapping today. Getting up the pitch, then getting back to do his defensive duties, is hard work, but he put in an absolute shift.
His link up play with Dan Green down our left, was beautiful to watch and caused MK Community so many problems. Well done Rossy
