Sunday 28th October: U13 v Coleshill

This was a disappointing match for many reasons, not least because of the false start in the morning, which clearly disrupted the players' concentration. Unfortunately this was the first game this season when we didn't deserve something from the match and there are a number of areas that we will look to improve on:

• We need to work better as a team, to make it easier for each other by improving the movement, passing more accurately, knowing what our positions should be, linking better across the whole pitch;
• The overall work-rate needs to be improved by all the players, chasing back to help in defence and using the spaces as we push forward to make the opposition's defence work hard; and
• We need to show some more passion in our tackling - being first to the ball and really wanting to win it.

It was good to see Luke get a late consolation goal, which resulted from one of the occasions when we did pass the ball about well. Two defenders received the awards for battling hard throughout the game: Jack was Ben's choice as captain and Dan was the coaches' choice.
