What do you want to have happened in training this week?

[Southcoastffc]

Apart from shooting practice I want Fredericks to have practised steaming into the area and KEEP GOING either to draw a penalty or create a certain goal. Too often he, gets to the edge of the area and panics. I can but hope.

Some shooting practice on target would be handy!

We have not looked the team we were last season, we are not creating goals, obviously we are missing Cairney.
Joccanovic needs to work on this problem, he may need to tweak our system or he could even try replacing Cairney with Sess and that should have occupied training this week.

It is no use just giving us more of the same with Norwood replacing Cairney, that is not working

Finishing, finishing and finishing.

Oh and a plan B

[Lighthouse]

The system where by we have somebody up front and not darting back in midfield. They, I think call them a  forward. Don't know if they exist. But instead of having crosses that we all think are poor because nobody is close to being on the end of them. A player that is used to being a forward may actually be able to create and find space in the area.

I know this is never going to happen. But allow me to dream.

Could plan B involve finishing, I wonder?

Shooting practice and also working on the gaps between Ream and Sess. They need to talk to each other more. Also, we should make sure Sess isn't left one-on-one with the winger too often, the left winger should track back more.

Corners and free kicks within twenty five yards of the box.
With out a bulldozer for a No.9 our habit of simply lobbing a corner or the free kick to the near post and occasionally into the 'mixer' is pointless and yet we still do it. A bit more creativity and no two the same would at least move the percentages in our direction. I watched Bristol City a few weeks back and they had one where all the attacking players stood on the edge of the box and ran in as the ball was in flight. Chaos in the defence and a goal ensued. The next corner was a short one to a player who called for it late as he ran to the touchline twenty odd yards up the pitch. He turned on a sixpence and the cross, from a much better angle went to the back stick and again created chaos. For quite a while now ours are not worth standing up for.................. although of course we do.
None of our forwards are renowned for their aerial prowess so lets at least try keeping it on the floor for a bit.
I am sure you still cannot coach actual leadership on the pitch but if anybody has any ideas on that Slav could use them.

Blimey seems a lot doesn't it?

I'm firmly in the camp that Sess should not play at left back. Left mid or fluid left wing yes but not a solid defender.

George Best to descend from above, 25 years old with boots in hand ready to play.

[JakeFFC]

Dead balls!!

Our throw ins are atrocious. Normally thrown to 1 person with 2 defenders on him. Even if, by some miracle they win the flick on we have nobody else there.
Corners, well that's been covered by the above. I would just love some to beat the first man and once that's mastered, not clear everyone. Just give us a chance at least.

I have been thinking the same for some time, I dont think he panics as much as seems to have been told to not get isolated up there and hold back more this season. Its working in so far he looks defensively way better than last year but it means the only penetration really comes up the left wing. Fred and Ojo should be doing more of what Fred and Aluko did last year but that takes time and Aluko played every game so Fred was used to him. we keep switching and changing right winger.

Don't no if he's looked on here and this thread,but he did mention that he orders Hs players to shoot on target!

[toshes mate]

I'd like to think we practiced wide players getting behind the last defender since a cut back, or shot from a narrow angle is much harder to defend.  I'd also be practicing those twenty plus pass moves all over the place in neat triangles that just refuse to give the ball away until we score.  We are not too far away from perfecting the basic merits of last season's team at its best.  Hitting the target comes naturally when players are more relaxed.
