Following the disappointment of our performance against Elton we asked the boys for a reaction over the Friday and Saturday training sessions.
On Friday we felt the best thing was just to play football and have some fun. We designed some overload games (7v5) with some of our skilful dribblers on one team versus some of the boys more prone to passing. It was a good test and throughout the session and definitely towards the end some of the passing from Harry, Fin, Xander and Wills was exceptional.
This morning we mixed things up again with some overload and some even games. The most pleasing thing this morning was that our decision making between dribbling and passing was spot on most of the time, which resulted in goals and assists galore rather than the broken down moves or lost possession we experienced versus Elton.
Bailey was back this week after missing the Elton game, and across both sessions his overall play, work rate and attitude makes him our Captain for the tough fixture next weekend against Princess Villa.
All the boys did really well but we will pick a team next weekend designed to give us the best chance of a positive result as its important for our Cup seeding.
We will try to arrange some friendlies over the half-term involving all available players.
