Well il take the blame for that loss.  I wanted to try a new system, as I didn't want to become predictable with the same formation through the season, we started with a 4-4-2, something the lads weren't used too, I thought considering we outplayed them and beat them 6-2 a few weeks back, this would be the game to try it, but when we lost the toss and they turned us around so they had the wind, I should of made quick changes, we're all learning.

They defo played the weather better than us a couple of the lads came of because they were to cold or struggling 🤦‍♂️, I noticed some of the lads shivering with arms folded during the game, I'll include my son in that, yet the opposition were on it and battling through the conditions.

Again we were far too weak in challenges plus too many we're holding on to the ball to long, 2 or 3 touches playing quick football is the best way for me to break there lines especially in windy weather, our defence didn't work well together as a team, with the opposition breaking through too many times .

Couple of shout outs, Alfie always battling away and gives 100% every game unlucky with a great effort hitting the post and was the shining light in the new system we tried with him going up front with Nathanial.  Also Oskar had a good run out today and done himself proud, nearly got himself a goal and battled away putting pressure on there wing backs many times, hopefully he will take lots of confidence from today.

My man of the match was Arian, I asked him to be more commanding in the area today and that he did doing brill and being brave in 3 one on ones when they broke through 💪 👏 

Parents man of the match was Vee, great wing work getting down the line and pinging some great crosses over and creating chances and got himself a good assist 👏, 

Well we've found some bad form, individually in places, but defo as a team, we're going to have tougher games and colder days, so we need to toughen up and finish the year of with a win next week, as it would be a shame to end the year with 3 defeats, especially after having such a good start to the season, good form is just round the corner I'm sure 💪
