DEA Bedford Masters 2

From the Captain:

Still struggling with combinations/positioning/play time.  We lost this game in the 1^st 10 minutes.  DEA could not do anything right, passes were way off the mark, touches were not controlled.  We gave up a quick corner in the first 5 minutes to Windham and they knocked it home with a unmarked player striking a head ball past Holger.  Not 5 minutes later with continued pressure in our defensive end another one squeaks in with Holger making a diving save to stop the ball only to see it had just crossed the goal line.  Play started to settle a bit and we were making headway into the Windham’s defensive end, with some good combination passed we had a few good opportunities with the ball popping out when Steve Bicknell found a free ball that he struck a onetime volley that passed the goalie and crossed the line before one of the defenders could clear it out.  Half time down 2 – 1.  Second half was clearly dominated by DEA, we started filling gaps, working harder at loose balls and finally found a bit of touch,  with some missed opportunities we just could not find the way to put one in the back of the net. It’s going to take some hard work with less ***ing and complaining about play time to pull the rest of the season together, but we certainly have the caliber of team to turn this around. 

The new tactic for this group going forward will be those that are working hard, contributing, and not complaining will be on the field, anyone else with a different attitude will be watching from the sidelines.  With 20 plus showing each game we have that luxury.  See you all next game ready to win.

GM NOTE:  If you are having problems with your playing time and complaining... its simple... turn your uniform back in and I will refund your money to you.  Otherwise .... shut your trap and start playing as a team and you would be in first place where you belong....
