Under 11s Update, 12 November 2006
Just a few points to cover today.
Today’s match was probably the worst I’ve seen the lads play and was probably one of the worst results we’ve ever had. Every player needs to look at their individual performances and ask themselves what they could have done better. Part of that is their attitude: Dereham is a good team, but then Manchester United is a good team and look what Southend United did to them recently. The match was lost in the minds of a number of players even before a ball had been kicked: turning up with that mindset means we might as well just roll over and play dead (which is basically what we did for the first half). The only shred of comfort I took from today was that we tried harder for the first part of the second half and didn’t actually give up - there was still some spark of the Silfield Spirit there.
Lost and Found
I have a pair of gloves from training last week. Matt P’s? Following today’s game, I have a green baseball cap from Bawburgh Golf Club and a white FITC drinks container. Anyone claim ownership of these?
Fixtures
League Cup, Second Round
We have had our second round fixture confirmed: 3 December away at Hellesdon (I’ll confirm times closer to the fixture with them). Given our league record thus far, it might be worthwhile concentrating our energies on the League Cup…
Drayton 19 November 2006
This is an away fixture kicking off at 10.30am at Drayton First School, School Road, Drayton Norwich, NR8 6EP. We will leave Ketts Park at 9.30am, so if you intend going directly, you should meet us shortly after 10.00am at Drayton. Please can the lads wear our away kits but be prepared to change into our new home kits which may be here in time - I will bring them with me if they are here in time.
