We caught up with Ryan Baldwin after Saturday’s entertaining 2-2 draw with Birstall at Allard Way: ‘A point in a thrilling game against a very good Birstall side, in which we felt deserved of all 3. After a somewhat flat first half going in 1-0 down, we decided to change shape at half time, with a bigger emphasis on attacking in numbers. This then ignited a spark on the pitch, with lots of creativity leading to chance after chance. This was an absolute credit to the lads’ adaptability and ability to take on information, to play a formation we haven’t before. We finally found the equaliser after Hamza found himself in behind to win a penalty, which Sam Ellis dispatched for his return debut goal. The message was then clear to push the 3 points and the next goal, in which a bit of magic from the influential Sam Ellis again, did exactly that. Some fantastic work down the left, found Sam in space to curl one into the top corner. In the dying seconds of the game, Birstall unfortunately equalised, who we need to give credit to for pushing back after we scored our second. It felt very tough to take, but looking at the bigger picture, it was a game with so many positives to take, especially in the 2nd half. If we can continue to create as many chances as we did yesterday, I’m confident with the group we now have, we will see a string of good results coming up. We look forward to seeing you all at home on Saturday vs Stapenhill. UTC!’
