I'm sure there were some tired legs yesterday afternoon after a tough workout against City. It took some time for us to get going but we did improve as the game progressed and looked a completely different team in the last 20 minutes playing some lovely football, getting 2 goals and conceding none - well done to George for scoring a free kick that even Ronaldo would have been proud of.
It was good to play a team like City as it made Joe and I realise that the formation we have been playing up until now is not really suitable against the better teams, as it invites too much pressure on the defence through the centre of midfield. Changing to 2 in the centre of midfield in the last 20 minute made a massive difference putting us on the front foot and resulting in much more possession. This will be the formation we will be trying to adopt going forward.
As we have another friendly arranged for Tuesday there will be no training on Monday. I am waiting for the West Exe Manager to return from holiday to confirm that the game is still on but unless you hear from me to the contrary please meet at Barton Fields for 6ish and we'll try and get the game under way asap.
Hope to see you then!
