Lokomotiv Londres FC 1 v West Ken Kings 7
West Side Massive Wallop Loko
A truely forgettable performance for Loko this morning who were outplayed for most of the match. The scoreline was extremely harsh on the railwaymen who where by no means deserving of a 7-1 scoreline.
A very debatable penalty early on gave Kings the lead and when this was followed five minutes later with a goalkeeping error that gifted them the second, the writing was on the wall. Five minutes before half time an attempted cross from the byline found its way into the back of the net and there really was no way back for the steamers.
Half-Time Score Loko 0 v West Ken Kings 3
The second half started positively for Loko who throughout the game created lots of chances but were unable to hone their shooting boots to make these chances count. Roger had a number of efforts where he couldn't quite find the target, Peggy, Julian and Dale all had half chances from the edge of the box but couldn't make them count.
As Julian had come out of goal at half-time, Ismail took his place between the sticks but unfortunately had an off day, although he isn't a keeper which made his life more difficult. Kings knew this and started shooting from everywhere and unfortunately found it too easy to make space and shoot on target, and ultimately continue hitting the back of the net with relative ease.
They were not made to work hard for their victory and if Loko had had a proper goalkeeper in the second half then the scoreline would not have been so depressing. Ismail did pull off a wonderful save from the second penalty Kings were awarded in the game which saved Loko further embarassment.
Roger (pictured above) got the consolation late on hitting a drive from the right hand side of the box into the top corner. It was a good finish but unfortunately the game had well and truely gone by that point.
The team need to be up for the fight more and a lot more vocal in future games, as there appeared to be little encouragement and geeing up of other players when the team started to concede badly. Lets put this down to experience and bounce back strongly in the next game.
