26th September - Coaches View

I was really pleased the way we followed up on lasts weeks game with another good performance.

 

Positives

 

- We created lots of chances

- There was no going for glory over the best pass for the team.

- We sorted out the marking against an unusual formation.

 

 

Learning Points

 

- We need to give more information to the player on the ball.

- We can pass the ball around more if an option isn't immediately on.

- Poor behaviour results in a booking.

 

Coaches Player of the match - Guy , excellent headed goal, worked hard for the team in several different positions.

19th September 10 - Update

Well done again to the boys today, it was a tremendous effort with all the odds stacked against us.

 

A few things to update you on:

 

• Training - The session will be from 18.30 to 19.45 tomorrow, I will review the end time on a weekly basis.

 

• Hoopers - Today showed that Ian and I need help in the set up of the nets, I was at Hoopers at 12.30 and am just ending now following doing the paperwork and prep for Mondays session.

 

Therefore anything to cut down on my time is appreciated, I would ask going forward if two parents could come along about 15 -20 mins before the meet time at Hoopers to set the nets up and whilst we do the talk at the end of the game also take the nets down / collect the corner flags.

 

Thanks to Trish, Pam, Janet,  Martin and Ray for helping out today.

 

• Next weeks game is away to Penhill, meet at 10.00 for a 10.30 KO at Meadowcroft.

 

Given the amount of injuries it isn't what the squad is, its have we enough to put a team out.

 

For the boys that are carrying injuries could you let me know by Tuesday if they will be available next week - Josh Reynolds, Brad, Alex, Marcus.

 

With the exception of Ollie unless I hear otherwise I will assume all the other boys are fit.

 

• Finally I wanted to say how good it was to see Josh, Brad, Ollie and Alex come along and support the rest of the squad today.

 

Thanks

19th September 10 - Coaches Review

A great effort from the boys today, the way you kept going despite being down to 10 players due to injuries was top class.

 

Positives

 

- Excellent attitude

- Communications were much better, we passed players on for marking when needed.

- Tackling was much better than in our opening game.

 

 

Learning Points

 

- Communications is key.

- In the first half we were too hurried on the ball, much better in the 2nd half.

 

Well done to Marcus who had a good debut for the team.

 

Coaches Player of the Match - Ryan - For excellent leadership in defence.

12th September 10 - Match Postponed

Please note that Sunday's game has been moved to the 10th October due to us not having enough players to field a team.

 

Given the number of people away there will be no training on Sunday, we will train on Monday and do the sportsmanship presentation after.

 

After next week I will review the time we end the training sessions.

5th September 10 - Coaches View

Some tough lessons for us today, however if we quickly learn from it we will be a better team for this experience.

 

Positives

 

- Much better performance in the 2nd half.

- We adpated well to different tactics and sharpened up significantly.

- We created good opportunities in the 2nd half.

 

Learning Points

 

-There is no substitute for hard workload and desire to win the ball.

-We can't afford to be 2nd to rebounds in the 18 yard box.

-We must challenge at corners.

-Tracking players runs is key.

 

Coaches / Parents player of the match - Will - showed great desire and determination throughout the game.

2nd September 10 - Coaches View

I thought tonights game was a really positive performance against a strong team.

 

If we play in the same way throughout the season you will enjoy your football this season.

 

Positives

 

• Some good football was played.
• Everybody was brave in the tackles and blocks.
• Everyone worked hard throughout the game.
• We were creative when going forward.

 

Learning Points

 

• We didn't track midfield runs.
• At times we let players get into positions behind us.
• We were 2nd to rebounds
• Quicker passing, we lost opportunities when a simple pass would have caused the opposition problems.

 

Overall a really good start to the season.

 

Well done to Ollie and Marcus on their first game for the club.
