Bolton did well there. Hit on the counter. Young keeper looked a little eager and went early
Think if he commits to coming out, he can get the tackle in? Right before the scorer rounds him, he has a very heavy touch - obviously hindsight is 20/20 but it’s a learning opportunity for Porter, who might end up being our Moose Cup keeper.
Yeah, I think he did the right thing coming out, I just think he goes down to block the shot too quickly perhaps, which allows Collins (I think it was) to touch it past him and slot it in the net.
Maybe Collins played it well and feigned a little, I haven’t watched a replay, which tricks Porter into committing early.
But, I played football when I was 4-6 years old, so I was never coached properly, mind you, lol. That’s just how it looked live.
I have nothing against him for it. He’s done more at 16 than I have at 31, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The striker definitely has the experience to fake him out, credit where credit is due. And yeah, I think we can cut a 16 year old some slack playing against a League One side full of grown men lol
