Another season and a very difficult way to start.

It was Herts County Cup and we were drawn a team 4 divisions above us also the referee didn’t turn up due to the fact she had a operation last week, so i had to step in and thanks to David & Robert for running the line.

We battled well in the first half but after half time we let in 3 quick goals and your heads dropped. We started on the back foot straight away and but for some goal line clearances we could of been well behind in the first 10 minutes. I think some of the new players were surprised by the intensity and pace of the game but i feel you will adjust as the season goes on.

Things to be learned from this match, everyone needs to track back and help defend. Also if you are the main forward you need to working the opposition back line and challenging for every ball. Clear the ball when defending in you own penalty box do not try to play your way out. Be firm and assured!!! Other thing we lacked was fitness …..

At least you all tried and kept working – They were a very good team who usually get to the Quaters / Semi finals every year.

As for the match i thought Tom had a good game in defense, Gabe went on some good runs and Joey battled hard .

If you have the yellow kit please come to training in that. we will try to get yellow kits for the new players in coming weeks. See you all Monday

PS – from next week a player will asked to write up a match report and so i can publish on the site each week.
