What a beauty of a ball from Fraser

Lovely neat finish Charlie at the near post

F'in hell, am i seeing things Kirk has scored the opener  1-0...

Callumcafc

Good floated ball over the back line from Fraser and Kirk drifts in at back post to score on the volley

lancashire lad

Who scored????

ForeverAddickted

Should add that the whole move started with a lovely marauding run from Asiimwe, really used his body / strength well

Trialist...

aliwibble

Nice bit of strength from Asiimwe in the build up, and a good floated ball from Fraser for the assist. Keeper possibly a bit slow to react maybe?

Love him!

Ness concedes a corner covering as Villa come down our right.

aliwibble

Corner headed away by Asiimwe, ball comes back in to teh box, but the ref blows for offside.

To be fair the papers tomorrow will say "Kirk 4" 

sam3110

When out of position Kirk is pushing higher out of possession, right up with Leaburn which is interesting, we look more like a 442 at that point 

aliwibble

Villa passing it about, mostly in their own half, and once they make it into ours, Laqeretabua pushes over his man and concedes a free kick by the halfway line.

sam3110

In possession it's very much a 4231 though with Kirk as the "free man" behind Leaburn

We are playing very deep, and each team look like they are fine letting the oppo have the ball, be nice to see us put some effort into pressing and closing down a bit sooner

Callumcafc

Looking more like a 4-4-2 the last few minutes with Kirk and Leaburn sharing responsibility to press the back line

aliwibble

Villa come charging down our right, and get the cross in, looks like a shove from one of our defence but not spotted luckily, and ball is clear

That was my motivation speech to him so he could prove me wrong.

Glad it worked

Shame Kirk didn't look up there, Deji continued his run into the box

ForeverAddickted

Laqeretabua understandably looking inexperienced so far

aliwibble

Deji goes on a storming run through midfield after winning the ball, passes to Kirk, but his ball to Chem isn't the right weight, and the defender collects by the goal line

ForeverAddickted

Can we get Louie on a permanent deal?

Julesnumber

Captain Kirk?

This aged well

Ooh, nice bit of footwork between Tyreece and Leaburn on the edge of their area, but the final ball doesn't quite come off.
