Denton Town 0 Heyside Clarets 12 - u11's

For 20 or so minutes today, you gave Heyside a good game, which just goes to show that you have improved, and also, when you work together as a team, you CAN do it. After that, I'm afraid you lost your plot, and yes you can say Tiarna's injury was a blow, but one player does not make a team. I hope her injury isn't too bad, and that she will be back with us shortly.

On several corners, 3 Heyside players were completely unmarked, and if you just improve that part of your play, you will reduce the goals conceded, and give us more opportunity to go on the attack.

Now that we are training on the grass, I want to concentrate on defending set pieces like corners, work on holding your positions (how many of you were asked to play on the left and ended up on the right, or to play at the back only to find yourself up front?), and talking to each other - too many chasing one ball and tackling each other.

Don't be too downhearted, you are still coming off the field with a smile, and I know most of the time you give it your best.

Don't forget, training is at Egerton Park on Thurs 6:45. I'll meet you at the MUGA/astroturf, and then we will all go together to the pitches at the back of the school. Training will finish about 7:30 depending on the light. Bring your boots.
