[Ted]

Lets not forget that the team are mostly young and will hopefully improve. Can't help but think that we miss Metcalfes experience. Does anyone know how long before he's likely to be fit?

[HorshamRebel]

The players need a bit of confidence. We have got ourselves used to losing, and it gets harder to win, the longer it goes on. More mistakes happen because they are frighten to make them, more long balls to the oppo.

 

We have shown that we can do it, coming back at Wealdstone, for example.

 

So we need to get behind them and help get their confidence back. If they lose the ball, encourage them to get it back. If the oppo scores a goal, sing to bring them back up.

I agree with your comments Ian as Eddie is a good manager, but he shows his lack of experiance at the momment in struggeling to lift the lads when he does not have the finances available to bring in more players.

 

I will be there tommorow and as Chris said lets get behind the team and see if that lifts them!!!!

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

We could really could do with Mets and Harris.

From what I have heard Mets' first game back COULD be Windsor (26th December), although would obviously depend on fitness etc.

[Reading Rebel]

Firstly, I agree Eddie is a good manager and should stay.

 

I think someone has already mentioned that they were not too impressed with our pre-match warm up.

 

I think this could be a major indicator as to what has gone wrong this season.

 

Quite a few times this season I've noticed that the opposition start their warm up earlier than us and there seems to be a lot more organisation and variety in what they do.

 

e.g. a couple of weeks ago (forget which team it was)the opposing team had their cones all set out and were doing a well organised drill. We were strolling out in dribs and drabs having a cosy chat and just kicking the ball to each other.

 

Contrast that to last season when Mickey Lewis was the coach.

 

I'm not saying this is the total answer to our problems but from what I've seen having someobody who is a good coach can make a big difference.

[Martin]

Very good point RR. We have also conceded a high number of goals in the first twenty minutes of the game.

[HorshamRebel]

 

Also, if you start a match cold, you get more injuries. Hamstring pulls etc.

 

From watching the top teams in our division warm up, they all go through the same drill. Stretches, sprints/jogging across the pitch, followed by a game of one touch football inside a small coned area, finishing with another stretch.

 

I don't know about you, but I have found the teams that do the one touch warm-up, have been extremely comfortable on the ball and good passing sides during the actual match.

 

This is just an observation, not a dig at the players, or coaching team.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

not having a dig either, but we only seem to play the team passing game, maybe i dont see anything else that we do but thats all i ever see. that can only work so far, i think u guys are right maybe we need to do more drills
