Hadley Wood & Wingate 1 – Hoddesdon (Errm cant remember)

Well lets start with the Positives

1) Great Goal from Tom smashed home a free kick from 20 Yards to make it 1.1

2) The match was all square for 25 mins.

3) The rain held off till we finished playing.

Thing we should of learned today

1) Everyone needs to track back when defending.

2) For a player to be offside defenders must be behind them.

3) The Pitch is huge , so let pass into space and use the wings.

4) Every ball must be challenged for.

For a first game it was a tough ask to play a team 3 divisions above, but we competed well for 25 Mins then 3 quick goals and heads dropped and after that it was please blow the whistle ref !!

I must admit i did like our attaching formation for the last 15mins of 3 defenders 1 midfield and 6 attacker’s but it did open us up to the counter attack LOL.

Anyway the League is the important thing this year so we have 2 more cup games to learn about playing 11 a side and training on Monday.

Nicks Man of the match today was Tom
