S&L Juniors U10 Whites - Guildford Saints Boys & Girls U10 Lynx

Away match on Guildford's 3G pitch of a sunny Sunday; perfect day for a win... or 3 in a row!

Brilliant team effort, we have no problems pressuring oppo goal and hitting the net, that's for sure! Defence is also excellent, clearing when there's a sniff of danger. All those loose balls around our box are long gone!

Our goalkeeping was worth 4 goals today with some EPIC saves!

I do like to pick up on improvements so we have something to work on so here goes...

Whilst a great result, I don't believe it was a comfortable and could have easily gone the other way. There were big gaps between the def and mid meaning they ran in behind often and our passing (when we had it) was too far apart. Midfield needs to be balanced between the attack and defence. Remember, the more possession we have the more chances we can create.

We let in that quick turnaround goal again for the third time in a row (after our 4th). We seemed slow to reset again today throughout, and most coaches calls were relating to this.

I also noted there were a few instances where many were sucked to the ball, missed it, and left an oppo run to our goal. If a team mate is there let them have a go, you will then cover and give us a 2nd chance. The same goes for attack: let one go for the ball, but be in a position for a good pass in the next phase. ANTICIPATE and be in a position the ball will likely go. This comes more with experience and something the best footballers are very good at.

All in all, 3 in a row and an amazing result! Next week is also very winnable so let's work on the above and make it 4!
