WealdstoneI’m really struggling here as there was so little of note in this match!
Stones started well, but lost Robin Tucker to injury after 12 minutes and never really regained their composure in what must go down as one of the least cohesive performances of the season.
Leyton offered little other than solid defending in numbers when required and long ball’s forward to their front line who made the most of their advantage with speed.
Yet Wealdstone managed to have a hand in all four Leyton goals. The first on 31 minutes when Williams collected the ball wide left, some 12 yards outside the penalty box, and he then seemed to stroll past three challenges before dummying Andy Carter in a one on one to open the scoring.
Just before half time, Gary Burrell conceded a corner which was somewhat unnecessary as the Leyton forward chasing the ball could only swing a foot at it. Lo and behold an unmarked Bajeda at the far post to head home for number 2.
The second half followed a similar patter, then on 61 minutes Ryan’s half clearance fell to Hawes who made it 3-0 and five minutes later another failed clearance allowed Williams to square to the grateful Bajeda who scored number 4.
When Wealdstone did get forward, it was Ryan on three occasions that came closest to scoring, once with a shot and twice with looping headers just over the bar, but much as the score line flattered Leyton, it would have been an injustice if Wealdstone had scored.
