Farnborough v Weston-Super-Mare BSBS 26/03/11
Hi All. On Saturday I went to photographh Farnborough's home match against Weston-Super-Mare. On paper this looked the pick of the matches in the Blue Square Bet South league, but to be honest I was a little disappointed.
Farnborough were 2nd in the league, WSM were 11th. I assumed this would be one way traffic, and to some extent it was. But to be honest, I thought Farnborough made really heavy weather of putting away a team that looked very average.
Throughout the game, Farnborough looked the better team, and WSM did not really put up much of a fight. Saying that, at 1-0 going into the second half, I think WSM thought that if Farnborough don't want to finish the game off then we still have a chance.
When Gary Holloway scored the first goal, it seemed that they would go on and win comfortably, but it was not until the dying minutes when substitute Michael Malcolm scored the second that Farnborough could breath a sigh of relief.
This tells me that although Farnborough are a decent team, they do not have the killer instinct to finish off teams, and this does not bode well if they are thinking about promotion. I worry that if they go up they might get buried by teams that know how to see out games.
However, I did enjoy my day at Farnborough and everyone was very frienndly. I do hope that if they do get promoted, I am wrong about my prediction. But I do worry..........
