Easter Monday, Torquay v Woking, 2/4/18
Posted: 04 Apr 2018, 18:33
Before we get carried away with the best Easter results in memory, tactically we should still be better in order to take the late pressure off and to exert our own pressure during the game. And especially in a must-win situation.
We began and ended the game with hoofs upfield, thus giving away possession, and we still think that the best way to take a throw-in is to lob it towards the odd head surrounded by opponents. We did take one throw to feet, and it resulted directly in Luke Young nearly scoring from the edge of the penalty box. And we still give opponents ample space in which to take their own throws-in and to keep possession.
We created two great one-on-one chances from slotted through balls on the deck as opposed to the more normal hopeful aerial route.
You can't win a game without the ball or with our main strikers chasing long balls to and beyond the corner flag. It isn't rocket science, so why does our management let us waste possession so regularly?
COYY, but do it with the ball please.
