Message: [QUOTE="WoodyUK, post: 2083867, member: 1831"] Ok I have watched the game now! I think Deskos pre and post game interviews said a lot, the coaches seemed to have prepared the team Well, they didn't want to get into the running game and wanted a slower offense to take percentage shots on the goalie. Off angle shots and forcing things really hurt us and Albany did a good job in taking away our offense by Putting a lot pressure on our attackmen and winning the ground ball battle. Desko philosophy would have worked with the amount of face offs we had won. Molloy - didn't do much wrong and made some key stops, he cleared the ball well. I think he needs to do a better job of inspiring our def early as we are slow to start and also recognise that we where sliding to their face too early. Def - slow starting but am happy with the unit, we got beat early sliding to feeders but made the adjustment, it's an aggressive bunch that like To get up the field, which was good for us as two poles got on the score sheet. I thought Fusco had a great game for us but gave away a silly slashing penalty. DiPietro is seeing more mins and is fun to watch. Bomberry is quickly becoming one of my favourites! Firman is and plays like a senior even when playing a different position from past years he's doing a great job and thinks faster than most, he made some big plays yesterday. First Line Middies - Bomberry is a star and has a high IQ and is a shoe in to start in the first midfield. Lane and Salcido are struggling with their shooting accuracy but Salcido stood up to be counted late when we needed him, he seems frustrated after reviving what we call a dead leg and he ousehednto early in the possession, he's a known quantity now and will struggle early In the season to find his place again although his vision and passing have been great. Salcido and Lane scored their first goals of the year yesterday and was good to see although I feel Lane need to tighten up in all fields to secure his place on the first line, when passing he doesn't set his feet and looks off balance sometimes and he isn't totally confident in his own shooting. Second Line Middies - First goals of the year for The impressive Trimboli and Carlin which helped the team and was great to see, I still think Dearth will have a break out game and looks physically ready for the challenge, he will be a great one from what I have seen. You will see two of these players on the first line next year! I am still concerned over our midfield recruiting we would have been hurt without transfers, we need to get a few stud players every year to keep this going. Attack - we haven't got much depth at this position this year I think we may see Wisnauskas once he gets used to the offense, it wad obvious after an amazing debut performance the week before against Siena that the attack would have been a big part of Coach Marrs scout, our starters can hurt you when dodging and feeding and we have the outside shots to pick teams off. Yesterday was the shot in the arm we need as we best get used to this pressure and teams taking away our strengths. We forced passes early in possessions and didn't take time To work on their goalie with percentage shots. Solomon put himself in dangerous places on the field sometimes being doubled or tripled and was not in a position to pass the ball. Jordan and Mariano took some bad shots from tight angles which helped build the goalies confidence. Other - Cal is not the answer on the wing he does not have the skills to get out of trouble although he is a great athlete. [/QUOTE]
