On reflection it proves how far we have come in our preseason Training and Friendlies, On Sunday we faced a very good side that would probably would have beat us last season, we are further ahead than I had planned and everyone should be very proud, there are a few problems that we need to address, where we are too quiet off the ball, to make our passing game more successful we need to give our self more options off the ball and make it easier for the player in possession to choose passing options
I tried today to play a few out of position to asses the options available if and when we are short through injury and suspension, there were no positions where I was disappointed with the commitment shown.
The small squad I am more than happy with.
I the last 15 minutes when Bryan came off injured it was easy to move players around with out disturbing the shape.
I know we are heading in the right direction when a few of you are disappointed in your own performance and as far as I was concerned there were no problems its great to see your own personal standards raising, and also the encouragement shown to each other, I have no right to be disappointed in the result but with the standards you are reaching it was a game we should have won, but that is in no way a criticismin of the performance you have set you own higher Standards.
As I said breifly after the game we have now got to learn to kill games off when we are in the lead with minutes to go, but that is very easy to learn.
On todays game again we came from behind to score 3 good goals and the attacking performance was outsatnding with Luke scoring 2 and Darren opening up the attack, Dean shown some very good touches and will prove to be a valuable asset with Tyso causing problems with his pace.
Well done to all of you
Dave
