| York started brightly with Nogan, Bullock and Proctor all proving a handful with their pace and off the ball running but the defence stood firm with Bound leading the back line. As the game progressed the Swans started to dominate the game of contrasting styles with York happy to go route one, the swans started to create chances with Smith and Coates and all going close but the deadlock was finally broken when Lacey capitalised on a York defensive error to bury the ball in the far left corner of Fettis's net which sent the 100 or so jacks plus Cyril who took his place on the away terracing into jubilation and went into the interval with a deserved lead. the second half the Minstermen started the half the better side with good approach play but the final ball was poor and with the swans defending very deep they couldn't get a foothold in midfield. The game settled down and with Cusack playing a captain's role led from the front and the balance of the game shifted with swans using the channels to get Williams and Sidibe away with this the York faithful started calling for the managers head with "Dolan out" chants echoing around the ground. The effects of Sunday's game were taking its toll on Williams and Widibe as they both struggled to get into the game with this Addison makes a double substitution with Brodie and Philips replacing Williams and Coates and the Swans reaped the rewards straightaway with Brodie flicking on a long ball to set Sidibe free who slotted past Fettis for I think was our only attempt at goal in the second half.
Lacey was very unlucky with his sending off with yet another very poor ref who constantly made bad calls for the whole game but the swans kept possession for the last 15 minutes to frustrate the home side. A good three points and worth the 4 hour drive back to South London. |
