Initial Thoughts:

1. A win is a win. It certainly took us some time to get control but ultimately we did. We will have a strong practice tomorrow to reset for Wednesday.
2. Keerat played awesome – he was aggressive and managed to get back and was always in the right place at the right time. He is our man of the match.
3. Connor made that potential goal saving tackle – a pure defender. Also a CONSTANT communicator. Great job
4. Braden won the ball back countless time in the midfield – we know his quality but what I like MOST about him is his hustle and ball winning.
5. Dillard gave us that goal and we needed it. Chapeau
6. We will work hard on controlling the game and tempo – making further efforts to minimize hero ball and hopeful ball, replacing these with more one-twos and quick ball movement – this is when we are at our best. To be fair, our field has become a little rough for that kind of soccer so the players do have some of my sympathy but don’t tell them that. We will be on turf Wednesday so we can really get that passing going and control the game.

Really I am super happy I get to spend more time with the boys. We will all miss it when it ends so let’s not let it! See you tomorrow and keep our eyes on the prize – District XI champs.
