First Game Loss - how did that happen!!!

Well played everyone! I think we did very well given this is the first time in a year many of us have played together, and played indoors.

So I was really surprised we lost 7-2. It honestly didn't feel like we were at the receiving end of that!

Jack Dobbs was as brave as ever in goal and I hope is recovered after his second half collision with an opposition player.  Ander Clark was effective up front and "netted" two great goals which kept us in touch at the end if the first half.

So what do we do to improve? 

Forwards must press hard on the opposition defense and especially their goal keeper. Stand in his way; don't let their defenders have any time on the ball. When we put them under pressure they made mistakes and we a scored goals. Try to stay up field (remember there is no offside) and let the midfield pass to you.

The midfield did well, but we must pass more and use the wall to get around opposition players. We must also run back to help our defense. In the second half I think we got tired and we let too many attacks get past us.

Our defenders did well but lost some concentration at the end. We must press up the field; to the half way line or over it to support our midfielders when they attack. When the opposition attack we must not lunge in to make a tackle, but we should try to force the player wide, away from the goal, and into the wall.

But well done everyone. You played really well and played to the end!

Man of the match: Ander Clark for scoring 2 goals and for his all his running running running!
