Lost for words...girls..
such a lovely bunch to work with...me and Nick were very positive about the 'amount' and quality of 'training' you all have put in recently....
I will tell you now..last night i was going through the game..over and over again..in my mind.
Had various 'chats' with both our 'Head coach and Sven...
I approached the game with my 'usual' belief that you all will give your all for your team...
and thats what we got....
Starting today's game with only 7 players....
but this is not a problem for me as you all work so hard for your team mates and me..i had nothing to fear...
allow me to take you through my players..
Polly GK and team Capt...Polly..today you where a proud Captain of a 'excellent' bunch' of girls..you didn't get much game today..but it was a pleasure to see you standing proud and delivering the ball to your outfield players...
thanks Capt.
Ella...having seen you go from 'strength to strength' through out training and your match performances.....we found you taking to the 'field' today...injured
i will add after putting yourself on the line in 'training' trying hard to get to grips with a 'new' role for you....I will say one thing.Ella,,i know Nick/Dad was very proud of your performance today and have started to show more to your game than..we thought was available to us....
Midfield...today and beyond is going to be a 'massive part' of our team and today i was very pleased to see Holly/Katie/Abbey working so well as a team...
Katie i have one word to say today>>
GOLIATH....Katie...you have finally added a new 'skill' to you game today...'positional awareness'
you now seem to understand that you must track back to your position....and to top it off with 2 more goals...on your CV..
Holly and Abbey..lovely wing play from both of you..great to see..'stunning' commitment today showing 'increasing' skill on the ball..and with 'fierce' running from Holly on the right wing...and Abbey....progressing your 'role' out on the left..we where entertained throughout the match...Abbey,Nick believed in you on the left,you proved him right with a 'great' goal..cutting in...and 'knocking' it not just past the 'keeper' but through the 'keeper'..
thanks Holly..one of your best 'performances' for your team today...
Upfront..we have our 'striker'
Elisha..your job..'score' goals support the 'attacking' wing and midfield players....and work hard...I don't need to tell you do do any of these,because you just do it...
lovely to see you out there with your team-mates..working your socks off...and yet again 'scoring'....nothing more can i ask of you mate..
Today...and beyond i 'totally' believe in each and everyone of you....and will always be there to 'guide' you all through thick and thin.....but i don't do it alone..
Nick your first class coaching this season has been excellent and i am pleased for you..to see the rewards..
Martin Thanks for your help today it was great to have extra pair of hands and support for the girls. hope to see you at other games with us.
Sven..Thanks once again for your behind the scenes 'support' on and off the pitch your 'amazing'....the Girls work hard for both you and Nick..
I just stand back and 'watch'
Regards a very 'proud' manager for Woodlands FC
Jon...
