Comment from the Coach
Team, A disappointing result for all of us today. Given the amount of possession and control we had, a 4-1 loss was hard to take. Looking around the players one by one, I believe we are a far better team than today's display suggested - we just did not click the way we can and should. Our shortfalls were ones we have tried to address in the past: - the talking was very spasmodic - hard for your team mates to make the right decisions when no-one is talking to the player in possession - we had a lot of goal-front possession but lacked that defining edge to finish off the moves. We simply did not manage to convert the many chances we had, especially in the second half. - fast breaks from the opposition splitting our defence too easily On the positive side, Francesco made some excellent saves, Ollie played a good positional game and Jonathon made good use of the mid-field space to transition smoothly from defence to attack. Bosher played a solid first up game and will only continue to improve with match fitness. Man-of-the-match to day was James who played a typically tireless game setting up several chances > a highlight was his stunning first half long range goal (set up by an excellent pass from Tom). Thanks to Andrew and Neil for running the line - quality job! Darryl
