Subs- Scott, Tremayne           

I was extremely impressed with our performance last week. We played football the way it should be played and was really pleasing to watch on the touch line; we just lacked the ability to convert that superior possession into goals. I've decided to put Sam and Simon up front which will hopefully bring goals. Remember that we can mix up our offensive tactics, combining quality passing in midfield, finding our wing backs out wide and providing incisive, through balls (not Hollywood) to the forwards. Sam and Simon will be making the runs. Let's be bold but not route 1 please!!

Welcome back to Steve S!!!

Remember everybody will get 65 minutes and as we lost heavily to Claxton last time I want to see 100% for those 65 minutes. 

Last week we played well in the first half and consolidated in the second. This week we should be keeping up the intensity for the whole game, whilst keeping faith in our strong passing game so impressively shown last Thursday.

We have a strong team but we need to keep the up the team spirit and trust in everybody's ability.

Team 16/4/15

Please find below the team for Thursday's match.

                                              Anthony

          Andrew D.                    Lee                        Phil A

Jon                                        Jose                                   Andy J

                                              Greg

                                              Sam 

    

                                      Scott       Simon

Subs-  Charlie, Cheyenne, Pasch 

As you can see we will be continuing with the 3-5-2 formation which has worked pretty well over the past few weeks. I must stress that it is most effective when we play with this system as both an attacking and defensive unit, adapting accordingly.

It means that Jon and Andy J have to play flexibly going up and down the wing, supporting the forwards and blocking the attacking right and left backs (no pressure).

I also envisage that having an additional central midfielder means a link up to the forwards (Sam), a play maker (Greg) and a defensive midfielder (Jose) playing in front of the back three. That is the beauty of the system but can take some time to get used to!!

Obviously it does place additional pressure on the defence but the defensive midfielder's role is to protect them with the support of the wide 'wing backs' doing the same out wide.

We play best when we pass the ball around, make the correct decisions and believe in both our individual and collective abilities. Let's keep to those principles on Thursday and have a great game.

WW Musicians- 2/4/15

Just a quick one to say well done last night to the regular players and also our guests Charlie, Daniel, Pasch (again) and Ashleigh. 

Bearing in mind that we had two injuries and that were down to 11 men (Ashleigh gave us a real boost in the second half also) I thought we managed to combine creativity with determination and organisation.

The 3-5-2 system does work and if we persist with it I believe we will improve and continue to give the opposition problems through width and extra numbers in midfield. It does put more pressure at the back but as was shown yesterday we pulled through with some last ditch defending and Bowden's heroics.

It was a real team effort with Anthony making another spectacular fingertip save, Andy Dade's work rate being second to none, Pasch running his socks off and linking with the forwards and Greg's free kick skills!!

Thank you for persisting with this system (yes even Charlie T) and remember our ability to play as a team with different players every week is a testament to the Accies' ideals which the management team works hard to foster and can only continue to work if we all buy into those ideals.
