The Foxes took on the Caversham Spitfires for their second game of the league. On wet day and playing in light rain it wasn’t the best of conditions but it was the first match at the new location and the mood was positive. Playing again the 3-3-2 formation that worked well before, the boys took a positive start.

The focus at the back was to try to implement the offside trap yet keep a strong defensive position. The boys started well with a number of decisions in our favour. From the midfield the opportunities were coming down the lines with the ability to make ground everytime we got the ball.

The greatest improvement was the closing down of the ball. All stepped in and were making some really strong and effective challenges. The score line was well in our favour as we crossed the ball and took our chances in the larger goals.

Towards the end of the match the opposition brought on an extra player just to try and even up yet we still pushed on. Unfortunately this confidence let the a lack of discipline in position as we push too high on goal. The forwards were in midfield, the midfield and defence were in attack and this led to leaving the back door wide open and conceeding. Largely it was a very positive and encouraging 50 mins to help look forward in the hope we are similarly dominant against stronger sides.
