Wednesdays Training Focus - Defending

Hi everyone, 

 After our great result on Saturday we now need to focus on preparations for the game this Saturday. I think Okehampton will provide us with our toughest test yet this season. 

What do we know about Okehampton? 

Well they are joint top of the league, have played four and won four. We should note two things from their performances so far. Firstly they have scored 7 goals in one game and 9 in another. This tells us that they have a strong attack but also that they keep going until the final whistle. The second thing to note is that whilst they did beat CS Leopards it was a tight game (2-1) where as we were able to put 5 goals away against them. 

 This should give us confidence boys and be clear that if we keep our shape and do the basic things well we standa good chance of beating Okehampton. It is games like this that we will need to take if we hope to get promotion.

Training will be tomorrow (Wednesday) at St Lukes. We will be starting at 6.00pm. 

The focus of training will be defending

Ensuring we have a strong defence is  going to be so important against a strong strike team such as Okehampton. 

 We will be looking at defending in open play and also from set piece plays such as corners and free kicks. 

 As ever any questions or problems please get in touch with me as soon as possible. 

 See you Wednesday 
 Mark
