Game review

First half was absolutely fantastic boys, well done. I was really pleased to see everyone trying (with success) all the things that we have been training for. Our transfers worked really well with the opposition left totally confused. The short passing and releading looked fantastic too, and we are finally starting to get the width, which resulted in many goals.

Now we just have to do all that for both halves, not just the first. As soon as we come up against a tough team we won't have the luxury of a large half time lead, and they will make us pay.

Of concern also was the fact that a much weaker side was able to score 4 goals on us. I feel a lot more discipline is required from our defence in marking players, keeping position, and distribution of the ball. We will work on all of that some more at training. Please remember that defence starts with our attackers too, not just the backs. We will do more work on setting the press this week also.

 There will be an extra session on Mondays (time to be arranged) starting next week, fitness only. Prepare to work hard as I feel it is a major factor in our second half deficiencies. When tired not only are you unable to run hard, but decision making goes out the window also.

See you all Wednesday,
