Team z wing6/2/2023 ![]() It was probably unrealistic to expect to win every game, but dropping points on seven occasions was too much. Promotion was sealed, though only as runners-up. Luckily, we had enough points already in the bank that we remained in the top three. Team Milestones: Three games without a win. Had we screwed it up badly enough to miss out on promotion? With a change of tactic we were a bit better against Anguilla, but still had to rely on a late equaliser. We gave Mauritius 71% of the possession, and they completed 695 passes compared to our 222. We were making the opposition look like prime era Barcelona. Just two points from the final three games, a really poor time to forget how to play football. St Martin are the only side we've lost to, so gaining revenge in the return fixture is a priority.įIFA Nations League 4, Group C: This run-in has been absolutely miserable. Sao Tome & Principe lie just behind us on goal difference - they've scored six more than us, but our superior defensive record (only three conceded so far) keeps us ahead. It's very close at the halfway stage, but we sit in pole position at the moment. Jamie Coombes (Magpies, AMR/ST, 26 y.o.) scored his first international goal. Player Milestones: Brad Power (College Europa, DC, 29 y.o.) made his debut. ![]() The Anguilla match was very even, but Kelvin Morgan was on form and took both of his chances They somehow managed to take the lead and I was expecting a second loss, but luckily Liam Walker bailed us out with a nice free-kick. They just camped in their own half all game and we couldn't break them down. Mauritius had even more possession, 77%, but had next to no ambition. They had much more of the ball than us, 68%, but couldn't make it count and we punished them on the break in the final ten minutes. FIFA Nations League 4, Group C: Sao Tome & Principe were top of the table, so beating them was about as big a scalp as we could pick up at this stage.
