Man of the Match Davey

Well done Titans on an absolutely brilliant start to the 25/26 season ❤⚽Your first league game as a 7v7 team and what a strong start. This formation suits you boys and yesterday’s performance showed that. You started strong, you listened, you focused, and your attitude to the game – and to each other – was absolutely awesome. After conceding first, you didn’t let your heads drop and you quickly fought back to equalise before taking the lead.

Jack L Not a lot for you to do in between the sticks, but you stayed focused. Your distribution was brilliant and helped the team play out from the back with real strength. You were brave, strong, and made some fantastic saves. You dominated your box and communicated well. Keep that up Jack, we love to see it!

Ridley H Wow Rids 🤩 what a performance in defence! Some absolutely brilliant clearances, your pace was quick and your tackles were strong. I know that initially you weren’t keen on playing a defensive role, but you are such a strong force there. Always remember that defending your goal is just as important as scoring them. You were amazing, and yesterday’s game is exactly what we want to keep seeing from you.

Barnaby P Again Barns, what a game for you! You continue to be the brick wall every team needs. The pace and strength we always see from you shone again yesterday. Pressing, challenges and clearances were perfect. You held the ball up well and knew the exact moment to clear it, pulling their defenders out and giving the team the space needed to dominate midfield.

Freddie P You continue to wow me. Your footwork is incredible and I love watching you take players on down the wing and, as you say, “taking them to the shops”! You made some brilliant challenges, and if you lost the ball you used your speed to win it back. You worked really well with Davey – covering each other and staying disciplined in your positions, giving the opposition nothing but grief.

Davey B Our Man of the Match, and 100% deserved! You worked so hard, pushing forward as well as tracking back. Watching you battle for the ball was brilliant. You were so close to scoring more than once – when it hit the side netting I was already cheering! Well done Davey, you were brilliant to watch as usual.

Arty C Arty the little rocket! You, Davey and Freddie P make an awesome trio in midfield. I absolutely love watching you get stuck in, and your crosses are always brilliant. Your attitude and focus are perfect and you give us 110% every week. Well done Arts.

Josef P Much better from you yesterday Josef! You stayed on your feet, and if you fell you got back up quickly. Your strength, pressing and footwork were fantastic. You listened well and did exactly what was asked of you – and scored twice! Let that be the start of a strong season. Couldn’t fault you at all yesterday.

Kailum C What impressed me most yesterday was that you took your chances! You were brilliant to watch in midfield – great footwork, challenges, and holding the ball up well. You read the game with ease. Well done Kailum.

Leo D Little lad with massive strength! If you want a battle, there’s no one better than Leo and Davey. You bounced back quickly after challenges and never let the opposition bully you off the ball. You worked fast and hard to win possession – it was amazing to watch.

Freddie G A slightly slow start, but not for long at all. You listened, played fast, and got the 2 goals you worked so hard for. You used your strength well, made some great challenges, and worked hard to win the ball back when you lost it. You even did a spell in midfield and followed instructions brilliantly. Same again next week please!

Jenson C - Although you can’t yet play matches with the boys, you’re still very much a part of the team. Thank you for coming to support – we loved having you with us!

So proud of each and every one of you boys. We couldn’t have asked for more. Well done – you absolutely deserved that win!

UP THE TITANS🩵🤍
