Hayes & Yeading United Fans' Forum

Another excellent result and three wins on the bounce! With other results going our way last night, we're up to 14th and only 5pts off of 9th place now. Amazing what a run of wins can do to your league position, especially when our division is so tight in the bottom-half of the table.

Well done to all the players and management on what sounded like a very good showing last night! Sounds like bringing back Mo Bettamer has been an inspired decision - 2 in 2 for him from the bench since his return.

Two big games coming up against Beaconsfield and Didcot and hoping we can continue the winning streak and push on.

YOU 'AYES!!!!!

Humble pie to be eaten?? I couldn’t see us picking up many points on performances since New Year’s Day. So a massive amount of credit has to be given to the manager his team and the players.
Last nights performance was the best of the season by a distance. Organised without the ball, work rate from every player was incredible from the first whistle to the last. Very difficult place to go and pick up points, without the poor weather conditions.

1st half was a fairly even affair, Poole Town had more of the ball and found themselves with space in the wide areas but ultimately disappointed in end product. Early stages of the game, diagonal ball to the Hayes right found their winger get to byline, pulling the ball back to Tony Lee, his weak right footed effort straight into the arms of Jacob Adams. Few corners to deal with for the away side, but wind played havoc with delivery and most dealt with comfortably. Two real chances for them a dipping volley from 20yds on the right side of the box flew wide of the far post. Another on the left, winger drifting inside and reverse pass into Poole Town forward, his first time effort blocked by the late lunge of Will Salmon and deflected out for a corner. Deep corner found cross come shot held up in the wind combination of Jacob and the crossbar keeping the scores level.
Hayes sloppy in possession at times but created arguably the best chance of the half, Omar Rowe on the half turn near the semi circle, slide rule pass between left back and centre back sends Ayo clear through on goal, his right footed effort across the keeper, out for a corner off the outstretched right boot of the goalie. Few neat passes on the right side of the pitch, Omar slips the ball into Rohan Silva, pins his defender on the edge of the box, little lay off into the advancing Sami Odelusi who fires across the penalty spot, but no Hayes player on hand to turn the ball goalwards.ast chance of the half was cross from Cole Brown, finds Ayo with a first time right footed shot across the keeper who manage to turn the ball round the post, unfortunately Ayo deemed offside by the assistant. Ht 0-0

Thought we were sloppy in early stages of the half, gave the ball away in midfield, resulting in a yellow card for Jerry Wiltshire tugging his man back when trying to get clear. Few crosses and corners for the home side odd scramble at the back post and neat move finds Poole midfielder cutting inside from Hayes right, edge of the box left footed curler just over the cross bar. Introduction of Bettamer for Sami on 52 mins seemed to add that little bit of quality in the final third. Free kick awarded after a tricky run from Ronan Silva across the box, slightly left of centre 25 yds out, Being on for 5 minutes , Mo Bettamer steps up and fires low under the wall, slightest deflection of the boot of Poole player is enough to wrong foot the keeper and he can only palm it into his own net. Second followed not long after, Mo again finds himself back to goal, just helps the ball towards goal, Omar and Ayo converging on the bouncing ball just outside the box. Ayo gets there before anyone else, ball bounces into his mid drift, which helps to get past 2 defenders, going across the goal, easily slots home right footed by penalty spot, with the keeper rooted to his line. Can’t remember any real chances for the home side late on few short corners caught us knapping but most crosses handled well by Jacob. We looked the more likely to score, bettamer nutmeg on his marker, shot from 18yds out fumbled by the keeper but cleared away, Cole Brown shot blocked at the near post, and then a very similar chance for Ronan silva also saved by the keeper with his feet.

Overall very good away performance, organised and went forward with purpose and started to be clinical in front of goal.

Mom hard call all of them put a shift in, I’m going to go for Ferdinand Okoh, played more advanced in the first half neat touches didn’t give the ball away to often, second half dropped deeper due to Sami injury 3-4 occasions tracked runs from Poole Town midfielders snuffing out possible goal scoring opportunities. More of the same lads.


U hayesssssssssssss

Good performance Tuesday night.
Defending was solid, looked much better going forward, Silva is a big part of that, he has an engine that man. hard to pick a MOTM to be honest so many good disciplined displays.
First half was probably 50/50 between the two teams. 2nd half after going ahead Poole struggled to create much. Always looked the ones more likely to score again. Bettamer movement up front was very good when he came on.
Lads done the travelling faithful proud.
Brilliant away performance.
COYH!
Didn’t think much of the Poole highlights. Looks like a mash of action put together on the fly.
