Ratby friendly

Played Leicester League and Cup Winners Ratby this weekend and narrowly missed out on a deserved draw with a disallowed goal in the last seconds of the game.
Ratby are clearly a well organised and talented team and with the half time score at 4-0 I was wondering what we needed to do to get into this game. Fortunately, the match turned out to be a classic game of 'two halves' and we scored three in the second half with the opposition unable to increase their lead at all.
Good performances from all the team, in particuarly Harry Saxton who had the best game I had seen him play for a while and he looked in great shape with a commanding performance in the heart of defence.
We played good possession football from the back to the front, but need to learn to assess the options rather than taking my coaching instructions too literally. Also, need to play as a team and support our team mates when they are struggling to find a person to pass to.
All in all a good run out for next season.
This weekend we have our last tournament of the Summer and with most boys away over the bank holiday weekend we will only be taking a very small squad.

Entered three tournament this summer and lost in semi-finals of them all - bummer!!!
Boys playing well at the moment and squad is just about complete for the start of the season. Looking forward to new midfield and left-back signings having a great season and the rest of the boys progressing from where they left off.
Friendly this weekend with Ratby, a team who beat us 3-1 last time out - will be interesting to see if we have improved.
