The lads had their first target game on Monday evening under the floodlights at Bolton Arena.
In a cold and very wet first half the lads got off to a bright start in the game, looking the better footballing team. Although they were on top the lads soon found themselves 2 down with 2 lapses of concentration.
The attitude of the team was excellent once again and heads didn't drop, just on the stroke of half time Miguel converted a well executed corner to get them back in the game, and give Miguel 3 goals in 3 games.
The second half was very competitive with both teams playing at a fast tempo right up to the final whistle. With the lads pushing hard for an equalizer they were caught out at the back right on the final whistle to concede a third.
Overall a great learning curve for the team and they can be pleased of the performance against a well established team, who are part of the break away club from Manchester United when the Glazers took over the club. Along with this a team that have been together for a few seasons and trained from early August.
Two premier League scouts were watching on and had some very positive feedback for James and the coaches, and have indicated they will be returning to future fixtures.
Another excellent performance from Miguel, and a 3rd goal earned him the Man of the Match award.
