Staines
Town vs Wycombe Wanderers
The optimistic Staines side went against League
2 side Wycombe Wanderers at Wheatsheaf Park. The Wycombe side was strong and
they were looking for a win, but the Staines side wanted to do their best to
prove to prove a point to the Wycombe side. However the Wycombe attacking
proved too much for Staines side. Before moving onto the match I would like to
give a get well soon to Sam Bates who sustained what looked like a severe neck during
this match
The game started off with consistent
attacking by the League 2 side with some very close efforts by the Wanderers
however the Staines goalkeeper was solid until the 17th minute. Then
came a free kick outside the box which was taken short and a shot was taken
outside the box. The goalkeeper saved the first shot but then came Josh Scowen
who scored the first goal of the game from the rebound. The first goal lead
onto more attacking by Wycombe, which soon produced another goal. This goal
came about when a midfielder passed a long ball to a winger, the winger crossed
the ball into the forward but the forward slipped and missed. But then came
another forward behind the slipped player and he took a powerful shot, the
goalkeeper got a touch on the ball but was not able to do anything. That was
the second goal of the game, scored by Wycombe’s Dean Morgan. The first half
drew to a close with the Wanderers dominating and with one hand on a win.
One minute after play restarted the
Wanderers had a throw in next to their opposition’s box. The throw was taken
quick and 2 passes gave the ball to the Wycombe forward, and he took a straight
shot which ambled passed the Staines goalie and gave the Wanderers a three-nil
lead. The goal was scored by Jo Kuffour. After this, both teams attacked but
neither converted chances into goals. Then a cross came in for Wycombe and the
forward tried to finish it off with a bicycle kick, but then Sam Bates came in
and tried the best he can to defend it. But the Wycombe player; instead of
kicking the ball kicked, Sam’s neck and Sam was left collapsed unconscious on
the pitch.
We are very sorry that we have to finish on
this sad note, but injuries are some of the disadvantages that come with
football.
