Match Report Vs Alderley United Selects
Bit of a different one yesterday playing against a side with 6 players then going down to 6v5 for a small period.
I thought we started very slow and struggled to get going with me and Jayden questioning if we had gone deaf it was that quiet??
Jacob D got us going with him getting on the ball and being direct and making sure he was heard when he didn’t have the ball supporting his teammates??
This then prompted Seth as he managed to help us grow into the game by turning over possession and starting to get us into the final third and then we started to create some more chances which we were still struggling to convert.
At half time we spoke to the group about not being anywhere near the standard we have previously showed and need to be. We said we were lucky that Alderley didn’t have a full team otherwise we would be no where near the current score line.
Although we mentioned not being anywhere close to where we know we can be I think the score line helped push confidence into the boys helping them get on the ball start getting forward and helped us try new things which was important ??
The boys seemed to step it up in the second half and starting talking and moving forward the ball forward slightly better. ??
Towards the end of the second half we put an emphasis on getting the ball moving and quickly finding our passes to get forward which I thought we did exceptionally in spells (Jacob P setting the standard with some incredible first time passes at a very quick pace??), they all showed lots of confidence, and even showed us some passages of the best football I think I’ve ever seen????
POTM - This weeks POTM was awarded to Seth after a ruthless performance involving himself in 7 of the 9 goals. Seth showed some real quality today and paired that with lots of determination early into the game battling across the pitch to help us wake up and get into the game. Well done Seth????
See you all Friday??
Thanks Brad and Jayden??
