On Too Many Occasions This Season...

[Sponsor of Beer]

...there's been too many lapses of concentration and too little following of instructions; resulting in poor goals conceded (as in Wivenhoe's second) and too much reliance on high and long balls despite instructions to play it on the ground, utilising the formation selected.

 

Are these things that explain why individual players haven't progressed their careers further or can they be addressed in training? Perhaps we rely too much on pure fitness?

The Players used the long high ball so often that I wonder if they had any "instruction" as you suggest.

The majority of teams in the SFL seem to use route one, but most have a big guy up front who can hold the ball.

Town played their best football when they played it on the deck and therefore got the best out of the Players they had in the team.

It will be interesting to see what the Management team have learnt about this League for next season. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/boxing.gif" alt="" />

If I wanted to see big blokes kicking balls high into the air I'd go up the road and watch Bradford Bulls.

 

I don't. THey don't call Association Football "the beautiful game" for nothing. I hate to see it abused.

Cheek!

 

I hardly remember the Spurs double team of 61!

[Mr Happy]

I bet you remember the Spurs FA Cup winning side of 1901!

[Duke of York]

Maybe he remembers the White Horse Cup Final?! (Not the White Horse pub team's final!)

[lanceyboyuk]

depends what league we go into

[The Invisible Man]

Oi, don't you start as well Duke!

 

You young whippersnappers should have more respect for your elders.

 

I remember refereeing White Horse FC in the early 90's. Also White Horse United from Cheshunt.
