U16 Calcio Talent and Select - U16 Lincoln United

Out of possession we executed our game plan really well. We were compact and Lincoln didn’t really play through us at all. The opposition are a very direct team, have a lot of tall and physical players.

They scored 1 goal from a throwing, we didn’t clear the ball when it bounced in our box. Their 2nd goal was a cross and it bounced in the box and they got their first in a 50/50 to score.

We wasted alot of our chances, missed headers etc. Our decision on the final third let us down, we rushed our pass or poor execution with the cross.

We played much better football than Lincoln and played out really well which we’d worked on over the last few weeks.

It was actually a positive final talk despite the loss. As our players gave everything they had, even when 2-0 down.

Clear progression from playing out & out of possession, which we’ve worked on the last 3 weeks.
