3-5-2- the verdict

I was extremely impressed with how quickly you adapted and am mindful that it will take a bit of time to get used to the new formation however last night was an encouraging start.

Taking into account previous scores against the Dulwich Tigers and bearing in mind that they are a very good side, I think 1-2 (with a last minute goal that prevented a draw) was an impressive result. We lacked a bit of creativity compared with some weeks but I will put that down to unfamiliarity. When we did get the system right we carved them open on at least 4 occasions so that was also extremely encouraging. However I felt the scoreline of 1-2 compared with the previous 6 and 4 goals against us respectively in previous matches against the Dulwich Tigers illustrates that tight organisation and sticking to our roles/positions paid off.

I would encourage if you get a spare 5 mins to let me know your thoughts not only on the formation but also your preferred positions. I am just getting to know some of you and felt that maybe a couple played out of position last night but as long as I am picking the team it would be helpful to get your thoughts also.

Please remember that we give equal amounts of time to players playing when we have a full squad which hopefully explains some decisions but I will always try and play you where you enjoy playing in tandem with what is best for the team.

Thank you for going along with the new formation and giving your all. Once again well played done for last night.
