From our point of view, not all, but most of our players
today didn’t seem up for it – there was a lot of tiredness throughout and we
seemed very lethargic and we started to fall back to how we played at times
early on in the season in that we didn’t seem willing to put pressure on the
ball and on the occasions we did, we didn’t see it through with a second tackle
or push up the field, or we kept trying to do the same thing again and again
which PV quickly recognised and cut the play down. PV have one or two
individually skilled players, but the Arrows as a team can outplay them, I’m
certain of this; but they need to want it, and today they just mostly didn’t –
I know that may sound harsh, but it’s what we all saw this morning.
I felt that we all collectively started off on the back foot
this morning – there wasn’t a decent number of goal builders like we normally
see (many, many thanks though to the Parents (and cajoled Grandparents!) that
did help us get ready). On top of that we had nearly half the boys getting here
late this morning – this then impacts on how warmed up and ready to play they
all are - at 20 minutes to kick-off we only had 5 boys on site ready to warm up
and at 15 minutes we had 7... Being fully ready to warm up with goals prepared
and in place really does set the tone for the rest of the session so can I ask
all parents to really help us in this aspect going forward.
Our bookings for training for the next two Fridays have been
cancelled by the club and County Offices so unless you hear anything from me
regarding a friendly between Christmas and New Year then we should next convene
on Friday 6th January. I’ll drop out confirmations either way before
then.
I hope you all have a great festive period and some much
needed rest.
