09 Apr 2022
Our young Blues lost their fifth game of the season at Cobham this
afternoon.

Ed Brand's side were unbeaten in their last four in the U-18 Premier
League and with a couple of games in hand above most teams above them,
there would have been a feeling that the league title was still
a possibility.
== Team news ==
There were a number of changes made by Brand from the last league game
which was a 3-2 win over Norwich City.
Prince Adegoke, Silko Thomas, Alfie Gilchrist, Luke Badley-Morgan, Lewis
Hall and Edwin Andersson all came into the side as we sought victory
against a Leicester side who have only won one in their last seven.

Edwin Andersson made his return to the starting line-up after a period of
time out with injury
== Testing the waters ==
Chelsea started the brighter of the two sides as Jimi Tauriainen fired an
effort on goal to test the palms of keeper Arlo Doherty.
Both teams showed an ability to keep the ball, but both also made a number
of mistakes in possession. Despite this we were the side that looked most
likely to break the deadlock.
Leo Castledine and Silko Thomas both had clear sights of goal but both
players failed to shoot, holding onto the ball for too long. Another
chance came our way as Edwin Andersson had a goal-bound effort blocked by
Leicester defender.

Silko Thomas and Leo Castledine had arguably our best chances of the game
but they both failed to convert
== Preventing mistakes ==
With the half coming to a close however, the momentum was beginning to
shift the way of the away side as Chris Popov had two opportunities which
he fashioned for himself, the first saved brilliantly Adegoke and the
second blocked by captain Gilchrist.
With our young Blues pushing for a goal in the second period, we almost
conceded as Jack Butterfill's effort only missed the target due to a
slight deflection.
== Missed chances punished ==
With just under 15 minutes to go it was the Foxes who took the lead in
this one as Cover started a flowing move and was on hand to sweep past
Adegoke and give the Midlands side the lead.
We should have equalised when Hall played in a fantastic ball to set
second-half substitute Malik Mothersille clear, but the striker could only
steer his effort wide. Hall was next to have a chance, but his shot was
stopped well by Doherty.

Ronnie Stutter unleashed a shot at goal which almost gave us a goal
We were made to rue those chances as Amani Richards turned the ball in
from a corner to double the Foxe' lead. That was how it would end as in a
game of fine margins, it was the away side who took their chances.
