U10s Whites Match Report ??
??? Date - Sunday 14th December
?? Opponents - Heaton Mersey Vipers
?? Result - 2-3
?? Competition - League match
Very close game and very unfortunate not to come away with at least a draw.
In possession -
The lads played so well on the counter attack in regard to winning the ball deep and in our own half. Our wingers did very well getting wide and high as fast as they could, making runs into the channels. We played some brilliant through balls to the wingers but unfortunately we didn’t manage to take full advantage of these chances. If we were a bit more clinical, we could have possibly scored 3 or 4 more goals.
A major positive from yesterday was how quickly the team transitioned from defence to attack. The speed and numbers on the break was perfect.
Out of possession -
We went for a different approach yesterday in how we defend out of possession. We usually want the lads pressing with speed and aggression to close down the opposition, but we decided to go with a more solid and defensive approach. This allowed the opposition to have more time with the ball in defence, however, as soon as they got into the middle of the pitch the press and the aggression was there to win the ball back. The lads were excellent with this approach all game. Unfortunately, we had a 10 minute spell where our shape wasn’t quite right and the gaps from the defence to the midfield were way too big. Fair play to the opposition though as they took advantage of this and scored 2 quick goals to level up the game.
? MOTM - Jacob P
Jacob P was excellent yesterday. He did everything Tom and I asked from him in and out of possession. He kept everything simple but took the risks when chances arose to put passes through. Well done Jacob P.
?? Goals - Seth, OG

An unfortunate defeat for the lads however so many positives to take.
Big thanks to the parents for organising kickair after yesterday’s game too. Was great to see the lads enjoying themselves.
See you all at training on Tuesday.
Thanks
Jayden and Tom ??
