The Carl Davies effect was in full swing at Bracknell Town as the Robins stunned visitors Sholing on Saturday with a stunning comeback from 2-0 down in the Southern League Premier Division.
In the 83rd minute, Bracknell trailed 2-0 thanks to first-half goals from Jake McCarthy and Tommy-Lee Higgs and were staring at a second defeat in a row after an impressive display that included five wins and two draws from the last seven games.
Giovanni McGregor fired the starting gun in a four-goal comeback with a pass from Arthur Gregory while Gabe George equalized from distance in the third minute of stoppage time.
You might think most fans would have gone home happy with a point at that stage, but the turnaround since Davies’ re-appointment has seen the Robins climb from bottom of the division to mid-table and develop some solidity.
Throw in captain and match-winner Seb Bowerman – his goals came in the 96th and 98th minutes – and you have a team 10 points adrift of the play-offs having recently beaten Farnham Town and Wimborne Town and Uxbridge.
At full-time, Davies praised his team, telling the club’s media team: “Even at 2-0 down, we kept our identity, we kept doing what we knew we could do and we were patient. I didn’t think we would leave it too late but once we got the goal, I thought we were ruthless and made up for our previous lack of finishing. I think it was a fair score based on the reflection of the chances created. They had a good chance to go 3-0 up in the second half where the shot went wide, but other than that I don’t remember they tested Zaki at all.”
In the Isthmian League South Central Division One, Binfield have quietly gone about their business with 10 points from their last four games – including Saturday’s impressive 5-4 win over leaders Leatherhead.
Ross Weatherstone’s men remained in the relegation zone but staged a remarkable comeback like their Berkshire neighbors – despite trailing 3-0 at half-time.
The second half of the fight was led by Nathanael Boakye who scored in the 52nd minute while Amari Fashanu and Kickie Dzimba equalized the score in the 64th and 69th minutes before Fashanu scored again and Boakye in the 87th minute from the penalty spot made the score 5-3.
There was a late Leatherhead response but Moles just held on to inflict a third league defeat of the season on top of the table Tanners.
