Lots of girls talking about yesterday's game were using adjectives like "embarrassing" to describe the game. I wouldn't quite go as far to say we should feel embarrassed. Uncomfortable maybe. You never, ever want to win a game in such a lopsided fashion - it's really no fun for either team. Fortunately I thought both teams played the game in great spirit and the referee was amongst the best we've had this year.
So much for an abbreviated warmup and short bench! We scored some nice goals and witnessed a couple of decent saves from our stand-in keepers. I liked how the girls reacted to our half-time instructions. We played it across our back four pretty well, perhaps not as quick as I wanted but the thought was there. Switching the play and point of attack takes thought and I really felt by the end of the game we were looking to do this instinctively. Still looking for improvement in communication, better angles in support of the ball carrier and showing for the ball with the correct profile to the passer.
Overall a good start to 2012 and on to the game against Lakehill next Saturday. Hopefully the weatherman is wrong and the snow stays away.
