Gaffer's Notes

[Coley]

I just read your notes and things, whilst i agree we have had a good start i think going forward we need consistency. Playing in Defence/Mid/Up front are all very different roles, as it playing attacking mid or holding mid, playing sweeper etc. What we have now is no-one really knows cept Darren what their role will be week in week out, and maybe thats what we need to look to do, get a formation that works and players in those positions and work with it, rather than chopping and changing to suit. I think we needed a quicker team out on Sun, rather than playing the big boys as they were skinny little runts that were always going to play quick footy. Stu wasn't able to play the Str role, when he came on he wasn't even sure what position he was playing, an so maybe Si should have stayed on, if nothing for presence up front and because he is scoring at the moment. You cant take anything away from Neil who is giving everything at the moment and were not the same team without him.

Please dont get me wrong, i'm not bitching or trying to be an arse, i'm only saying that people need to learn a positon/role and play it. not think now should i be pushing forward, no that was last week i was playing up front, today i shuold be defending etc

Does anyone agree/understand or am i talking shit?

Think he might have point!!!

nope i understand, and it is something i have been trying to do.

hence playing si upfront, i have in my mind our first choice line up, the one that works best but it is not something that is always possible with people being away etc.

also making sure everyone gets a game is also a problem but where possible i obviously want to play what i feel is our strongest side.

if you guys want to have a chat about positions etc, any thoughts then maybe we can do it on sunday if everyone is up for a bit of training?

i try to speak to everyone before the game about what i want them to do, though i'm not sure this happened as well last weekend, wheras it did the week before when we won

and yes si at the moment should and will be playing the striker role for the forseeable future!!

[GAZZA]

boys it's 6-a-side - i would've thought the positions are fairly straight forward - 1 keeper, 2 defenders, 2 midfielders & a striker??!!

the man has a point!
