At half-time we are 2-1 up. Even with 4 minutes to go, we were only 3-2 down and pressing for the equaliser. So to finish losing 6-2 was disappointing for the boys and in no way reflects the game. Ignoring the gloom and despondency that descended on the players in the last few minutes, there is plenty to be positive about in this performance:
· Overall a far more solid defensive display – we were far better at closing players down and sticking goal-side with attacking players and getting back to help out in defence
· Some lovely passing and movement - particularly in the first half.
· Marco looked up more in box and on a couple of occasions spotted a simple pass to a player in space – on both occasions resulting in goals for us.
As Tim said at the end – a couple of simple positioning techniques during goal kicks would have reduced their goal tally. We’ll work on this tomorrow.
Our first victory IS around the corner.
