Started off well, with the pass out from the goalkeeper. After that the 80 pass move falls apart. But it will be a warning and an opportunity for the under-11s to step up into the gap created from the dismissed rest of the under-12s. 🙂

Better yet for the LDs would be to not get drawn into sweeping, limiting statements. Also to have learned from their negotiating failures of last time, rather than crying about it and saying they won't play with one kid, as they were mean to them last time. I'd want them to assess their position along policy lines now, rather than because they negotiated a bad deal years ago.

That undermines their negotiating position. LDs: If you don't give us what we want, we'll back the Tories. Labour: No you won't because you've told all your voters, that's something you'd not do. LDs: Sod. Where do we sign off on all the Labour plans?

Hasn't got the pace for walking football. 🙂

Great to see our youth academy have picked up Martin's philosophy. We're going to see players come into the squad with a lot of experience in his style of play. The grey hair even matches what it's like watching a lot of it. 🙂

I can see him being marshalled more by 2-3 centre halves. Also, there's little in our style that releases players centrally to run in behind. Alcaraz as the same issue there. Our central players would be expected to psychically know when that ball is going to be played, and stay offside, as opposed to the ball being just one of dozens making its way across the park to gradually draw our opponents out of position. They would also be expected to play their part in such build up moves, as well as waiting for that killer ball. Che has put in yards all over, as part of build up. As a result, he's been nowhere to be seen for some of the better deliveries. Our style likes shifting it to across and up the flank, allowing Sulemana to draw in and try to get past his full back. That may just be as good as place as it gets as things are.
