Well, we didn't win. Enough said. I'm not sure if it was just me, but it seemed we played a step behind and out of sync most of the night. I know I was not at 100%. We did OK through the first half, and I think we were down 3-2 at half time. But they pulled away, and that was that. But I respect that we did not give up, and kept up the pressure till the end buzzer.
I did notice that a large % of our attacks got squeezed to the side walls, with the ball rolling easily to their keeper to scoop up. It seemed like over a dozen times he simply bent over, picked up the ball, and that was our offense. We need to keep the ball in the middle and be near each other to pass back and forth, using the center of the field, not the edges. Relying too much on the side walls means we're not relying on each other.
We also got spread out way too far apart. They have some fast guys, and we were ready for counterattacks, but it seemed like too many guys hung back too long. And if everyone is back on D, then nobody is out to receive the clearing passes. We were strung too far up and down field. We need to work together going up on offense and helping back on defence in both directions wihout getting bunched up too close to each other.
Next Game: March 4th, 10pm vs. The Gasp
