Post Game - At least Wales won

Not a good day at the office.  Probably one of the most disappointing losses of my entire time here at GW.  Unfortunately we were once again unable to start the same back four in consecutive games and knowing yesterday we would be missing Sousa and with Shaban already out we were rocked when we lost Sandland to a freak injury before the game and JP in warm up.  The versatile Holleran moved position again and found himself at left back and Farrell made his college debut in goal.  Despite the scoreline and conceding 4 goals Farrell can still hold his head high as I thought he was one of few positives to come out of the game.  That says it all with our GK conceding 4 goals and playing great and highlights some of the shambolic team defending that cost us goals today.

With us back on the field Sunday it gives us little time to prepare and for us it more like repair as we try and get guys fit.  Like most games I try and get the positives out of losses but today the honest fact is we did not work hard enough and too many players went missing when we needed them most.  Again it was a case of creating chances but not scoring in the second half and giving goals away from areas we had spoken about before the game.

For Coach Farrell of LaSalle whom I happen to like and have for many years it was his 200th career win so again congratulations on achieving that milestone.  We had a good chat afterwards and I like the way he put the 200 wins in perspective "it just shows that you've been doing this a long time"  Probably made it even more special as his son a freshman scored the opening goal for him.

The small bit of good news for me today was that Wales beat Scotland 2-1 in a world cup qualifier and despite having a long shot to actually qualify its a win that stopped a 4 game losing streak.
