Real Milan 5 West Drayton 5!


The roar from the Real Milan tiger was reduced to a whisper today as West Drayton B C produced the comeback of the season. Real were cruising at 5-1 ahead with 20 mins to go when they inexplicably allowed West Drayton back into the match and conceded FOUR! late goals.
It all looked so promising for Milan with first half goals from Danny O'Sullivan 2, Ashley Kang and Josh Lake. New Signing Ronaldo added a fifth just after half time and it looked like double figures were on the way. Unbelievably Real collapsed like a pack of cards, and were punished by a resiliant determined West Drayton, who started to win every tackle, and got more stronger with every goal they scored. Too many Real players stopped working hard, became casual and let down their team mates with sloppy attitudes. West Drayton thoughly deserved the draw, and Real were taught a painful lesson.
Real were again with out any recognised centre halfs as there injury crisis deepens, but this should be no excuse. Lack of discipline, lazy attitudes in training, and individuals concentrating on themselves and not the team was what lost it for Milan.
There were some positives, Ronaldo looks to be a great signing and scored a cracking goal. Danny O'Sullivan produced yet another quality performance, capping it off with 2 goals including one 'special.' Tom Emery was Man of the Match.
