Won the game on Sunday 4-1. Still no goals from me. I had at least four shots on goal, and missed them all. I'm shocking at actually getting goals in, truly.
I think the centre forward (CF) and myself have worked out a good dynamic re: passing to each other. Downside is that CF won't really pass back to either of the inners who aren't great players. I think that's something we kind of need to work on this year - skills and strategy while in the middle of a game, and just giving people a chance.
It helped that this team's defence wasn't the best at marking us, and we had a centre half with good experience at passing to people or into an empty space, rather than straight into the opposition. The CH is new to the team, but she dropped down from A grade for an easier game and is definitely needed/wanted here. Someone who thinks in the middle of game and can direct the play? We need that so very badly. Our other two CH's are ex-Pres (whom my sister calls "Shouty Girl") and a friend who's great at chasing down the ball but not always the best at passing it.
Also, this year, it would be good to work on our individual strengths: Long-Distance Runner Inner is good at picking up the ball, but she needs to learn to pass back to her half, keep running, and then take the ball up again. New Player Wing is in the right place, we just have to teach her to get in front of her defender (push and shove if necessary) or else to make a lead.
Now my body just has to hold together this year...
