Queens' 2 Selwyn/Robinson 1

A very satisfactory win away against a very good Selwyn team who definately gave us the most physical and competitive game this season. The pitch we played on seemed very small and this didn't help the flow of game, nor did the 4-5-1 formation favoured by Selwyn which stopped us playing the passing possession football that we have been doing.
We had the better of the first half chances, with Tom, Gabriel and Stefan having clear chances to put us ahead but it took a well-taken goal from Paul after a great through ball from Tom to put us ahead just before the half-time whistle. In the second half, we had alot more space to play football after Selwyn switched to a 4-4-2 and their dominating aerial presence moved into defence rather than midfield. We had a more chances in the second half though Selwyn were more dangerous on the break with alot of pace on the wings and upfront. We managed to goal ahead with a clinical finish from our mini-mexican Gustavo and that goal seemed to seal the game and but we continued to play football in an attacking manner. However, Selwyn were always dangerous from setpieces and they scored with a few minutes to play direct from a free-kick, but we held on for the 2-1 win put keep us top of the league :-) Next week, we have Corpus at home, and yes home actually means Queens' pitches!!!
