Thanks, Spathi.

The Tassie coach would have been doing his block. They would expect to draw with or beat ACT.

They would expect to beat NT.

Interesting to see NNSW beat NSW.

Act was far to good for Tassie in the first match. NT came back from
2-0 down with 10 men. Nnsw are a very strong team.

Who is he?

Dean May? yes?

Have you seen Dean at any games?

No

He is a gracious winner.:)

I'm surprised he is a mate of Paul Lonton's.

Dean May's teams play good football to watch.

They are great for coaches to watch a team playing 4-3-3 with the defensive two screener midfield triangle, reverting to 4-2-3-1 in defence and sometimes a 4-2-4 in attack. Against similar standard teams they hold good shape.

I'm not sure what Spathi thought when he watched them. I must admit it is easier at the half way line up in a stand to view the formational changes.

Good comeback for NSW. Could not stay to watch...seems like a close game.

I am surprised.

his cv is very English and fitness based?

Is it easy to see which formations teams are playing, Slee?

A few years ago Han Berger did his block with the style of football some of the state teams played at national championships. He was livid and put a few FFA staff hacks on notice.

Who?

I must go and watch a session of his, to see what he does technically. He is part of the FFA programme and would be pretty accountable to Han Berger. The TD would evaluate his sessions frequently.

I would like to be an innocent bystander at a NTC session, but he knows me, and will probably ask me what I 'm doing there and start to explain things. He is a friendly bloke, not aloof like some. I might have to go in a disguise.:lol:

I was asked at one split state league club training session if I was a talent scout?:lol:

Most of the time at senior training sessions i just shake my head.
Failure to move off the ball, poor first touch, receive the ball standing still all issues that should of been sorted at U10s.

One senior split state league coach of a male senior team told me he despairs at how he has to keep telling players the same things, but they don't sink in.

There were a couple of things I was doing with under the girls under 12 reps.](*,)

Sorry, I must have worded it wrong. NT finished with a full set of players, but scored 2 goals in the last 10 minutes to draw 2-2.



NNSW = brilliant in the first match. Could easily have been more than 3-1. 2nd match was a tense arm-wrestle, not many chances and only 1 goal was ever going to win it. SASI's high intensity, high pressing game forced an error, and indeed, 1 goal was enough for the win against a tired looking NNSW (who had spent a lot of energy by beating NSWIS, as compared with SASI's cruisy 6-1 win earlier in the day.) However, hats off to SASI, they made the most of this, and NNSW's fluid passing game from the morning's match was successfully interrupted and they very rarely found any rhythm.

Bring on day 2.

maybe he should look at his selection process.

It doesn't matter who it is at the club, most of his senior, reserve players and under 19s are similar.](*,)

It is quite funny to see the conversations between some split state league coaches and the younger senior players.

Coach, "Why did you do that with the ball, son?"

Player, " I don't know."

Coach, "What have we been working on?"

Player, " Can't remember."

Coach rolls eyes. Says he goes over and over the same stuff week in week out and that most players still make the same mistakes week after week.](*,)

In a shooting exercise he has a player crossing with two attacking players running into meet the cross. He has been working on them crossing over to confuse defenders. Players either run into each other or miss the ball completely.](*,)

This guy is quite an enlightened coach too. He believes in learning football, by playing football. No isolated running at training in his sessions. He asks me if KNVB has any solutions for players like this?

Is he asking questions of the coaches at younger years?
This should be his first response the second should be to bring them to training and show them the result of poor youth coaches.
I know they don't but senior coaches should be over the moon to have development coaches in years U8>u12's.

In fairness, Krones, he had just taken over the senior coaching role. He is a good mate of a good mate.

He hasn't had much time.

If he stays the club will improve as a whole. He will be interested in the younger age groups, but they only go down as far as under 13s here.

Under 12s are juniors.

his mate ship may have been overstated.
Any football person can see straight through lontons hair care sales pitch.
