Probably what you would expect for a semi final with a close fought game until a telling five minute spell in the second half. They battled well and created a few chances, some down to some decent football but also some from our misplaced passes but overall we were worthy winners.
We struggled to get our passing game going today but i believe that the pitch played a big part in that as it is probably one of the most difficult we will play on all season, but again we stuck at it so well done lads and a final to look forward to.
Dan Houckham - 8/10 Kept his concentration well and made a couple of good saves at important times, most notably a one on one.
Darren Thomson - 7/10 Steady performance and improved as the game went on.
Danny Eastwood - 8/10 Pick of the defenders today with some important challenges.
Steve Smith - 8/10 Unusually contributed more attacking today than defending. His great goal near the end ensured he kept his 8 out of 10 mark. Was also unlucky with a good header which smashed against their post.
Dave Burton - 7/10 Played through the pain barrier and did well, not as much of a goal threat today as he has been the rest of the season.
Jack Wilson – 7/10 Played a great ball to Jack Stone for his wonder goal (we'll talk about that in a minute) but distribution in the second half was not up to the usual standard.
Will Roomes - 8/10 Another good performance and a goal out of nothing.
Tommy Martin - 7/10 Because he made me laugh in the warm up convincing one of their players he had played for Arsenal and won the FA Youth Cup.
Archie Avery - 7/10 Another steady performance.
Micky Close - 7/10 Surprise surprise another goal.
Paul Gross - 7/10 He's paid me for one of his bookings so when he pays for the other one he might get an 8.
Jack Stone – 9/10 You cannot score a goal like he did and not win STAR MAN. Probably one of, if not the best goal i have ever seen on a Sunday morning, an unbelievable strike.
Lee Biggs - 7/10 Did well and always looks a goal threat in the forward midfield position, apart from one scuffed shot from the edge of the box which was shocking.
Cliff Carter/Nolan Iles/Grant Spelling/Mick Austin - 8/10 These guys have put the hard work in all season and have been rewarded with a cup final, well done lads.
Steve Smith - 8.5/10 No explanation needed.
