The headline was too irresistable to ignore. It was nice to get the win over the blue bombers despite some uneven play. Before I go further, lets talk tomorrow:

1. Be at fields NO LATER than 3:15 PM. JV and Varsity. Line-up and tactics to be sent in email tomorrow.

2. Wear blue and come ready to play your best soccer. Remember the enemy.

What I liked against Palmerton:

1. Braden and Dillard and Logan and Levi coming to support and in the last case, play for JV. Braden ran balls and helped out. That is WHAT A TEAM IS ALL ABOUT. Great job guys.

2. I loved when we played quality soccer. Ball on the ground, moving it out wide, bringing it in, possessing, and pressing.

3. Two awesome headers from Danny. One heck of a shot from Braden, and Gigi punched the net. Scoring from everywhere is what we love.

4. Backline and goalies and MF’s did their bit for another clean sheet with help from a sweet post. We must have that mindset that NO ONE scores on us. A WALL. Part of our identity. We know that the work all over the field makes a clean sheet, not just the last four.

What we need to improve:

1. Our press must be present and active from minute zero. Sometimes we take awhile to assert ourselves and I want us to do that immediately. If we do, our opponent will unravel more quickly. We MUST communicate more everywhere.

2. When we do win the ball, let’s make them chase it some more. Sometimes we are too much in a hurry to counter back instead of owning the ball and drawing them out of positions.

Both of these are on me and we will work on it!!
