Canvey Island 4 - 0 Slough Town

[Matt H]

Canvey Island flashed off their new away kit today in style, beating Slough Town comfortably 4-0 at Park Lane.

 

21 minutes into the game and Ty Gooden scored Canvey's first with a delicious free-kick just outside the area. His shot hit the inside of the left-post and hit the back of the net. Lee Protheroe scored his first of the new campaign with another free-kick from exactly the same area. However Proths' effort curled right and hit the top-right hand corner of the net to put Canvey two ahead.

 

24 minutes in and Neil Midgley scored his first for Canvey Island slotting the ball home sweetly from twelve yards. Canvey maintained the pressure in the first-half but couldn't quite convert their possession and dominance into goals. One thing that must be mentioned is how threatening Canvey looked when they kept their width Craig Davidson playing particularly well on the left and Peter Smith on the right had loads of space to play in.

 

The second half introduced Lee Boylan into the game replacing Ollie Berquez. He was a handful but had to wait till the last second of the game to find the back of the net.

 

Other substitutions in the second half include:

Ollie Berquez - OFF

Lee Boylan - ON

 

50 Minutes

Ashley Harrison - OFF

Danny Potter - ON

 

55 Minutes

Neil Gregory - ON

 

It was here the formation changed to 4-4-2

 

69 Minutes

David Theobald + Ben Chenery + Neil Midgley OFF

Micky Bennett + Gavin Cowan + Steve Parmenter ON

 

On the stroke of full-time Lee Boylan finally got his name of the scoresheet poking the ball home from 8 yards much to the delight (and relief) of the 'Orange Army'

good game in my opinion, Gooden had a great game capped with a fine free kick. Buzz again was good as was JK at right back. Good to see Boylan scoring again. But one question, who will take our free kicks this season?

[Chris]

Sounds like a struggle against our young lads then :-)

 

Oh well I spose you owed us that after the FA Cup!

 

Know the Slough side?

I was amused by the fact that Gooden scored a spectacular free-kick then minutes after Prothers steped up in the same position and nestled a beauty of a curl. Nice to see Midgley get 1 which he deserved. The only thing what let the game down was the REF!!! the amount of corners which should of been given. I rekon Prothers will still take the free-kicks maybe gooden once in a while.

[TACKLE1000]

Sounds about right!

[The Great Eckscape]

Gooden from the right, Protheroe from the left, and Minton steaming them in from the middle!!!
