Training on Saturday

Hi all

There's no game on Saturday but as you were all keen to still do something there will be training 10am to 11am at KGV.  In my absence Luke will be running this - his dad has kindly agreed to come along so there is an adult present.

Central City 6-0 Central United

Positives: Only our first defeat of the season and still 3rd in the table.  Learnt the lesson that good teams will punish you for lack of concentration and silly mistakes. 

Areas to focus on: Number of shots on goal (despite our 2 top scorers missing we should have still tested the City keeper much more), soft goals conceded (reminiscent of us a couple of seasons ago), team spirit and belief when up against it

Man of the match: Ted - centre half might sound like an unusual choice in a 6-0 defeat but was not at fault for the goals and had an excellent game, particularly in the one-on-ones proving very hard to get past.

Worth a mention: George - kept going until the final whistle. Joseph - put in a good performance at right back.

Final word: Whilst City were deserved winners the gifted goals did make the result look more convincing than it actually was.  In future we need to show more pride even if the game is effectively over!

Training at Exeter school tomorrow night 7-8pm.

Central United 6-0 Honition

Positives: Through to the 2nd round of the league cup for first time, clean sheet, good second half response to a very lacklustre first.  

Goalscorer/s: Matt 3, Marcus, George, Zak WD

Areas to focus on: Attitude going into games against lesser opponents, lack of through balls, closing down the keeper, general sloppiness

Man of the match: Zak Wilton-Davies - looked so comfortable on the ball playing with head up and made things happen turning defence into attack

Worth a mention: Francis - was a constant threat down the left, Luke - showed his versatility with some great attacking play at right wing, George - hardworking as ever and an inch perfect free kick to get on the scoresheet.

Training at Exeter school tomorrow night 7-8pm.

Positives: 100% record still in tact.  Created plenty of chances and another 4 goals scored.  Some great spells of football, particularly in the second half.

Goalscorer/s: Marcus 3, Zak WD 1

Areas to focus on: Still not enough chatter, decision making when to play out of defence and when to clear our lines, organisation when defending and attacking corners. 

Man of the match: Marcus - constant threat up front and grabbed a superb hat-trick.

Worth a mention: Asher - didn't put a foot wrong at left back. Zak WD - some great creative play in midfield, Ollie - another strong performance in goal.

Okehampton 0-5 Central United

Positives: Another win in impressive fashion with a clean sheet; we are the only team with 0 goals against.  Created lots of goalscoring opportunities.  Good supply of crosses into the box.  

Goalscorer/s: Pacey, Marcus 2, George and Zak WD
Areas to focus on: Being more vocal when going for the ball and helping each other with 'time' and 'man on' calls.  Better finishing and it could have been 10!

Man of the match: Pacey - big powerhouse performance causing opposition no end of problems and a stunning long range strike to top it off!  

Worth a mention: Ollie - clean sheet says it all!  Marcus - great 2nd half display and nice to see your sharpness back.  Zak B - worked tirelessly to protect defence making some crucial tackles
