Match Report v Blackburn Nation

DATE: 23rd June

Result: 5-1 win versus Blackburn Nation

Match Report by (an old legend!) MOHAMED

Very slow start to the game with opposition unable to
break down the QPT backline and vice
versa and then came the shock.... Mulla (Zuber that is
I think the chubby little fellow!)
ran straight through and scored with a delicate
finish. Yas looked bewildered
as he seemed to stand up waiting for the dink over but
it wasn't to be as the ball
rolled in.  The goal sprung the team into life with
Saeed and Usama making some
excellent challenges, Ishy W with a couple of
dribbling attempt but without that final ball
.  We were still shot shy until the ball eventually
broke loose to Ebrahim who expertly
drilled the ball in with a low drive.  1-1 and game
on!

Second half was similar with regards to the end
product but plenty of territorial
advantage and we kept possession well, Saeed unlucky
with a couple of goal bound
efforts.  Game at stalemate even after Adam coming on
for Ishy W and we play the
ace, enter Ishy Chotia.  Lifts the team and even the
supporters after scoring with
an instant snap shot.  Nation were rattled after
holding for so long, but there was
worse to come from their perspective.  Eby setup Adam
after some fancy footwork and
soon after M Ali came on to hammer home with his first
touch, an excellent half volley
after Chotia laid it off for him.  He scored again
with his second touch of the game
to finish the rout and the QPT fans went wild.
"Mohammed Ali flies like a butterfly
and stings like a bee" they were chanting!!!

MOM - Usama again, solid in the tackle (not junglee
but getting there!) and the word
Ussyfutting is out of his vocab now, well done lad!

Media Frenzy

No media frenzy as Yasin not up to anything (and I
couldn't be bothered) I mean come on,
is there no other controversial charachter?!. However,
he was restored with confidence
and handed with Amin's (aka God, legend) keys after
kissing and making up.

Personal Comment-

Each sub scored to justify the gaffer's changes and
shut up the likes of Adam who
were giving him flak last week! Also at times we are
being too fancy when on the ball
with back heels etc especially Saeed/Adam/Ebrahim when
we can play that simple pass.
Let's not take these 'lesser' teams easily and start
off more brightly, and we'll have to next
week against the proper Mullas like we did last year
in the second game when we were 2 up at
half-time.  We lost one and won one last year so let's
do the double over our rivals this season!
