Vance Frustrated Despite 7-3 Guernsey Thrashing
16 Feb
Summary
- Guernsey FC thrashed Shoreham 7-3 but manager expressed frustration.
- The team is eight points behind league leaders with games in hand.
- Manager cited system frailties exposed despite goal-scoring success.
Guernsey FC manager Tony Vance expressed significant frustration despite his team's emphatic 7-3 victory over Shoreham last weekend. The Green Lions' win propels them to eight points behind league leaders Steyning Town, with two games in hand.
Despite racing to a 4-1 halftime lead and eventually scoring seven goals, Vance was disappointed with the team's overall performance and focus. He noted that the team's "high-risk strategy" exposed frailties, particularly after Shoreham defender Ben Thomsett received a red card, reducing them to 10 men.
Vance explained that the team became too comfortable, failing to push on as intended. He acknowledged the potential rewards of their attacking style, which has led to 90 goals this season, but stressed the equally concerning number of goals conceded. "It's the way we want to play and we have to enjoy it after having seven years of defending for our lives," Vance remarked.
