Good Morning Boys,
Mixed feelings about yesterday. It's frustrating that we found ourselves 2-0 down in 2 minutes from x2 individual errors. In 16 games (including cups) we've gone 1-0 down in 14 of them.
I feel we invite pressure on ourselves way too much boys and play backwards far too much. Of course, as you know boys, we need to play backwards at times but it seems as though we use it as our first thought instead of our last resort. We need to start playing forwards more and breaking lines, penetrating. We constantly played back in the fist 20 minutes yesterday and invited an aggressive pressing team to come and shut us down.
Once we settled at 2-0, we took a bit of control. Now, this is where you need that ruthless streak. Yes, I feel we should've had a pen, however we also had a couple chances in on goal that need to hit the net.
2nd half;
At 4-0, with 10 men, as Morgs rightly said, we actually looked more threatening. Isaiah, your runs in behind were fantastic and we just kept dropping it in the space for him. We actually wasn't just going long, it was using that space beyond which I feel we don't do enough of at the start of games.
It was nice to see a bit of fight from you all in that second half and sticking together. Nobody stopped trying which is a credit to you all.
As I said yesterday, as much as this is a tough period we're going through, it is golden for you all as individuals and your development. But it's also golden for Morgs to see the characters of each and everyone one of you who we are watching closely for next season.
See you all Friday
Ollie
