Dragons back on form despite late goal fest

After some disappointing results of late the Dragons were looking to bounce back and get back to winning ways. With Super Terry Collins back at the helm and several key players returning from injury it was all looking rosy again for the Dragons.
TD started the game strongly controlling possession and moving the ball from side to side. There were some early opportunities down the wings as TD were able to exploit the pace of Harry and Jordan to get in behind the Southwater defenders. The back 4 was compact and cool as you like in the early stages snuffing out any opportunity when Southwater came knocking.
The first goal came after Ryan saved from a Southwater free kick but Southwater were first to the rebound and managed to punt home.
Southwater weren't ahead for long though as Banks played through GT. GT was like prime Arjen Robben coming in from the right and slotting home from an angle that, just like your dad when you ask to borrow £20, was very tight! What he lacks in hair follicles her more than makes up for in talent.
Not long after the first goal the Crawley R9 lobbed the Southwater keeper when we came a wondering and put TD ahead just before the break.
After a team talk from gaffer Terry and a rendition of the spice girls from assistant manager on the day Stuart, the boys were raring to go and put their stamp on the game.
In the 60th Minute Didier Drogba Jr aka Manny finally got his goal after what can only be described as bullying the opposition defenders all game. The big man had Velcro on is feet as found the space to slot home.
Things started to get shaky in the final 10 minutes of the game as Southwater made the most of their home advantage... or something... and managed to win a corner late on in the game and made it 3-2.
With a point to prove the Dragons were quick to roar back through the man who only knows how to score screamers, Adam, from outside the box. a real contender for goal of the season - just another for his catalogue at the end of the season. Inside sources claim that he's useless in training because the pitch isn't long enough.
With the score 4-2 it was all but finished the home side just managed to scrape a goal at the death to improve their goal difference but little else.
The score line is flattering to the home team and with some lessons to learn it was a top performance from TD after some uncharacteristic losses.
