PLANS FOR GAME

We are going to make sure our Friday coaching session helps get us ready for this game but it will be based on last weeks work .

What do we know – Kingswood play a tough physical game and play a lot of long balls to the front player often hitting high balls down the wings . They might use this tactic because there pitch is really poor. Well they are down the cricket club this week and that gives us the advantage of playing our fast passing game on our great surface

Expect them to try and rough us up – we just need to keep cool, play the football around and keep the possession . They will soon get fed up with that. In the 2 games last year we did that and had scored 5 by half time in each game.

The win they had against us this year was the first time they had beaten us but even in that game at Corby we created 10-15 good chances and should have won easily.

We need to mark the big lad up front Matias and keep him quiet , leave him alone and he will get shots away. They are slow at the back and not that well disciplined so let’s get the ball wide and go around the sides to pull the defence around. Lots of early shots and passing combinations like we have been practicing . Some of our tactics in the past have confused them and they rely on the coach to give them instructions a lot. Expect them to be told to hoof a lot of balls around and out of play. That’s not what we encourage but that’s how they play.

We will practice dealing with long balls tomorrow just so we are ready. Let’s keep the ball in play if that happens , draw them forward then hit them with some fast attacks with pace up front . That’s a Tactic Germany use a lot.

We will go 3 up front with support from the CAMs and get 5/6 men forward at least on each attack to overwhelm them . Lets make sure we keep 3 up front even when we are defending corners , we are at home and out to score goals. Lots of shooting and Let’s get off to a fast start.

I haven’t decided yet on the formation yet and it might depend on who is available but we will either go our usual 433/2323 style game plan or 3313.

We are going for goals on Sunday and lots of them.

Meet at 1.15 at the cricket club for a light warm up .

James, Luke & Adam

Ps : if anyone can help do the lino work it would be great as Adam is finishing his coaching assessment this weekend .
