I like the confirmation that our team gave me yesterday. We have taken one step forward in becoming a formidable team. One step of many.
You confirmed that you are reading my posts and more importantly, you are understanding the objectives of our training sessions.
We pressed and suffocated as a team on many occassions and their frustrations and tactics showed that we were on top for many periods of the match.
Mistakes were still made and will always be made. Never forget that. Our recovery runs and fast transitions helped in minimising the effect of any mistake. Every time you sprint back to help cover, we looked good and usually won the ball back.
One fact remains, we didn't win the match and this is something that over the coming weeks, we will hopefully rectify.
As we progress our sessions to focus on other facets of our game, I need you all to continue working hard on:
1. Passing accuracy
2. Speed of transition
3. Communicating better
4. taking the better option
5. Working hard when the opposition has the ball
If you continue those ponits, I can then introduce our next challenges:
1. Options in the attacking third
2. Delivery of ball in attack
3. Shooting
4. Set Plays
I need you all to continue the progress or we will be stuck doing the same things week after week.
What did we do wrong?
Although we did better, some mistakes were made which we must rectify:
1. When we are going forward at pace, look to offload and receive quickly (especially against slow teams like Bonnyrig)
2. Don't be afraid to hold the ball and take players on in attack but make your decisions quickly
3. Head over the ball when shooting
4. Don't slow play down to look for options, you should know before you receive what is available
5. Don't dive in and get goal-side quickly. This will stop players who dive. for free kicks
If you want personal feedback, see me before training.
Thanks and let's keep working.
