AFC BINLEY MANAGER EDWIN GREAVES WRITES ABOUT HIS TEAM'S 1-1 DRAW v POLONIA COVENTRY FC...

EDWIN GREAVES: THOUGHTFUL ON THE SIDELINE...

"Polonia started the game the better of the two sides and were quicker and sharper than us all over the pitch.


They got themselves into an early lead after 4 minutes and were always looking to move the ball around when allowed to.


Although we defended well we allowed Polonia too much time and space on the ball.


In the 2nd half we came out much sharper and got closer to Polonia all over the pitch.


We levelled the game in the 59th minute when an Andy Godfrey cross was dropped by the goalkeeper and Blake Kassar was there to put the ball in.


Both sides had opportunities to win the game but overall a draw was a fair result.

In summing up this game, Polonia were better in the 1st half and we were the better team in the 2nd half.


Against a good Polonia side we had to work hard and dig deep and once again the lads delivered. We still have to improve in some areas but I cannot fault the effort and work rate of my players.


To start the season with two games in four days and get 4 points against our name is a good start for us and is hopefully something we can build on.


We have a few days to regroup now and then we go again on Saturday."
