Match Preview

Gents,

I think it is fair to say that it has been an extremely frustrating start to the season, as results haven’t particularly gone our way for one season or another. We can sit here and continue to complain and moan about umpire decisions, or decide to get on with it and play hockey to the best of your abilities.

We spoken about we’ve been playing some great hockey both on and off the ball when in play. Work rate has been fantastic as we consistently support each other.

Over the next few games I want us to concentrate and think about doing the following;

• Play knowing that every umpire decision is going to go against us
• Reset quicker on free hit/side line/16 situations as we are far too slow to get into position, both when we have the ball and especially when they have it
• Play to and beyond the whistle, don’t stop when a mistake has made or a shot saved, we should be reacting to every situation no matter what, so as to keep the pressure on
• Do something game changing

The plan for Saturday is to meet pitch side at 3.15pm for a 4.00pm start (push back). Please ensure you have home/away kit. If you need a lift can you sort this out amongst yourselves as I will be going straight there as its near where I live.
