Season 2 – League Match #10

Screamin’ Seamen vs. The Cheats

Date: February 16th, 2003
Venue: The Docks (Chicago, IL)
Attendance: 17,350 (17,350)
Weather: Partly cloudy

This week’s league match certainly looks to be an easy one. The Cheats, a team that is only a week old and is in last place, comes to The Docks for a visit. Like last week, this looks like an excellent opportunity for our guys to take it easy and still come away with a full three points. We’ll also look to get a couple of our younger guys some league match experience.

Formation: 3-5-2

Starters

Keeper: #13 Cornelius “Corny” Jernigan

Right Wingback: #22 Tyler Willard
Central Defender: #2 Chuck Scales
Left Wingback: #5 Arlen Lucas

Right Winger: #16 Otis Johnson
Inner Midfielder: #4 Pete “The Old Goat” Tomlin
Inner Midfielder: #19 Jerry Smith
Inner Midfielder: #6 Charlie Bautista
Left Winger: #10 Olav Mauffret

Forward: #11 Johannes Henriksson
Forward: #15 Forrest “Gump” Tobias

Set Pieces: #11 Johannes Henriksson
Team Captain: #11 Johannes Henriksson

Substitutes
-Keeper: #1 Darryl Read
-Defender: #17 Mattias Leier
-Inner Midfielder: #7 Lucian Tere
-Forward: #9 Ruben Stewart
-Winger: #25 Paul Peralta

Two changes were made to the starting lineup. First, Otis Johnson will start on the wing opposite Olav Mauffret. This gives us a lot of youth on the wings, something I am normally a little leary about, but the ease of this match means it’s a good time to get these young kids some experience.

The other change to the lineup is Jerry Smith in the midfield in place of Lucian Tere. We’re grooming young Jerry to take over for Lucian someday, and this looks like a great opportunity to see what he can do. Jerry’s play has improved quite a bit as of late.

Match Report

17350 spectators arrived at The Docks, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Screamin' had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Jernigan - Willard, Scales, Lucas - Johnson, Bautista, Tomlin, Smith, Mauffret - Henriksson, Tobias.

Screamin's Pete Tomlin gave, after 20 minutes, the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. In the 26:th minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Johannes Henriksson dashed through, knocking home 2 - 0 for Screamin'. Edward Hurt received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack of experience, in the 31st minute and almost caused an opponent to score. A speedy charge from the left side of the field put Screamin' lead up with 3 - 0. Otis Johnson finished that one off competently, firing from an acute angle. Cheats appeared unsure on how to play. What ever got into Brooks Anderson, the crowd mumbled, as he suddenly struck a cross pass through the own defense - ending up right in front of Screamin'´s Olav Mauffret , who easily put the ball away for 4-0. Halftime score was 4 - 0. Screamin' held the ball, with a clear 77 percent possession rate.

The Cheats players spent the half-time break getting a rerun of the teams tactical organization. The home side´s Johannes Henriksson came close to extending the lead in the 65:th minute.

Comments

This was an easy match, to say the least. Our defense had another admirable performance, and wingback Arlen Lucas had the best performance of his career to date. But he was outshone by “Corny” Jernigan, who earned his second consecutive clean sheet and Man Of The Match award.

The other thing that pleased me about this match was the lack of cards and injuries. We’ve been extremely fortunate regarding injuries thus far this season. Let’s just hope that I haven’t jinxed the club by mentioning it.
