NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT
No. 24 Saturday 18th November 2017. Southern League – Premier Division
Biggleswade Town 2 (Brooks 60, 76) Kings Langley 0
Kings Langley’s inconsistency was evident again as they produced a poor performance against the mid table Waders after their scintillating display in mid-week. The only change to the line-up was the inclusion of Michael King at number 9 in place of Mustafa Tiryaki, who had been recalled to Wealdstone after just one game on loan. Biggleswade began the quicker and Martin Bennett had to be at full stretch to tip a snap Tony Burnett effort round his post. Liam Brooks produced an eye-catching overhead shot shortly afterwards, but Kings gradually took over proceedings, without finding the cutting edge to maximise their possession. The nearest they came was when a Brendan Ocran free kick produced a Jorell Johnson header that was superbly cleared off the line and a somewhat unentertaining half drifted to a close without either team looking as if they were going to break the deadlock. Given Kings chequered record of second half performances this season, the away supporters were concerned and when Michael King, who had missed the last two matches with a virus, failed to start the second half, the current dearth of fit strikers saw Mitchell Weiss pressed into service while clearly still suffering the effects of last Saturday’s ankle injury. The Waders came out in a more positive frame of mind, forcing Bennett into two early saves and within a quarter of an hour a right wing cross from debutant Greg Kaziboni was swept first time into the net by the alert Liam Brooks. As Kings laboured to find any rhythm, they were dealt the coup-de-grace a further fifteen minutes later when a Jordan Patrick through ball gave a one-on-one chance for Brooks and he completed his double in confident fashion. The visitors looked a spent force, relying on long balls that were competently dealt with by the experienced Gavin Hoyte and his defence. Brendan Ocran willingly continued to try to get on the end of this over optimistic service and one effort, where he beat two defenders on the corner flag to deliver in one movement a fizzing cross into the goalmouth was arguably Kings’ highlight of the second period. Sadly, none of his colleagues were up with him to take advantage, which probably sums it up on a bad day at the office for the visitors.
