The Moore the merrier...

What a great turn out  we  had today when 16 boys came, put in a great 60 minutes of hard work , fought  hard for every ball in the defensive games , stroked the ball around in the passing game and then just enjoyed the final 8v8 game scoring goals, practising their celebration and finding their feet with new and old friends. The famous twins arrived and they did not dissapoint with  great communication, great vision and very neat & tidy passing, very happy & very reassuring.

I also have a fresh but interesting dilemma in the goalkeeper position as the latest applicant has turned out to be short on stature but tall in his approach, experience & handling of the ball , I also have  a great young kid who wants to play and make new friends but has no idea what or where he should play but during the 60 minutes, he followed his instruction to shadow Giovanni and act like a big brother which he did with great enthusiasm. I think my midfield batman & robin are going to be a great duo. Im getting to know who will draw blood come tuesday but Im also nervous about those who may draw tears of their own , oh the drama Mr Nicholson......

Audere est facere.

1st and lasting impressions from today.

I met the boys today for the first time,  spelt a few rules out before we  settled into a few one touch & warm up games just to let them know its not all fun. Several players had no problem with tackling on the newly laid plastic surface, some had issues with it( see Harry Redknapp) , one or two the players have already shown me their true positions for next week with some great aggression in the tackle  whilst one player merely chose to let the ball do the talking with some delightful distribution whilst staying on one spot in an almost Hoddle like stance( great) and perfect defence splitting passes. Two players have already discussed with me in great  passionate & length their desire to be the number one  in between the sticks and whilst one is a goalie for his team on the weekend he is slightly small but has some  brains and plenty of guts and the other is all guts and no brains but has a more rotund build to him.
I eagerly await Fridays session where i get to meet the remainder of my team before next weeks curtain raising game against Fairmont.
