Academy & U21s

[arbitro]

The season finished with another entertaining goalfest but another defeat.

Fulham were too good for us for an hour or so. We couldn't get near them as their quick, incisive play was too much for most of our team.

It was no surprise they took the lead but they had a helping hand from O'Grady-Macken who didn't do the basics of clearing the ball from inside his own penalty area. He tried to control a bouncing ball and wanted too much time. The second goal was another error as some indecision between Michalski and Davies allowed a quick thinking Fulham player to get between them and score. The third was from a clear penalty.

We made a triple substitution just after the hour and looked better for it. A great strike from Edmondson gave us some hope and it was game on after 86 minutes when Doherty scored. In between we created other chances and had a couple more after this goal but just couldn't score.

Despite the comeback it was quite a disappointing match as for an hour our passing  and movement was poor and Fulham were better all over the pitch.

Worth noting that Fulham were in a 2 horse race with Man City for the PL2 title and finished 2nd behind Man City by 2 points, and ahead of the rest of the division by 7+ points,, so a gulf might have been expected
