A Week Off

LAFC took advantage of a week of to send scouts out before the January transfer window opens. Scouts travelled north up the M1 and M6 to watch a match involving a team in a similar situation to LAFC having also dropped too many silly points. The scouts watched the game between the King’s of Europe Liverpool and Premiership strugglers Watford. A couple of players caught the eye of the scouts. Bellamy’s amazing pace, turn of speed and movement off the ball was amazing. Agger was solid at the back but his distribution of the ball and his running forward with the ball provided other opportunities for attack was spot on. LAFC are considering making offers for both players during the transfer window.

Laos Athletic 4 – 2 Oakhall

Desperate for a win and to not drop any more points LAFC were prepared for a tough match against an Oakhall team that we’re relegated the previous season.

Things again got off to a poor start when at an Oakhall corner Ade punched the cross away only for it to hit an unsuspecting Dave on the head and rebounded into the goal. Anequalizerr soon followed with Ende converting a long cross from John. Before half time LAFC scored a second with Michael scoring with an over head kick from a ball from Mustafa.

Oakhall scored anequalizerr and the match was evenly balanced for almost all the remainder of the match until with less than 10 minutes left Michael scored his second again assisted by Mustafa. A forth soon followed quickly as Mustafa scored from a ball supplied by Fish.

The win provided a much needed 3 points and keeps them in the running for a good finish in the table. Two weeks rest now follows before back to back games away then home against Southborough Lane who were promoted with LAFC last season.

Orpington Town Church 2 – 1 Laos Athletic

LAFC hoped to turn last week’s win into a streak, having dropped 6 points in the league in recent weeks a win was really needed. Unfortunately Orpington got the first goal leaving LAFC to then chase the game. A goal from John brought the scores level. LAFC had a number of opportunities to go ahead and found the net only to for a dubious offside to be given. Orpington scored a second in the latter stages of the match. Again LAFC again found the back of the net and again it was incorrectly given offside. Although LAFC hounded the Orpington goal a second never came.
