lockleys are in a position to make a statement not only to this division and league but also to their supporters who have watched them get close but with no rewarding results when it counts.
their are several reasons imo that this happens.you may or may not agree
they do alot of things right but what i believe is holding them back is the following:
their is no game plan really in place.rely on their few stars to get them over the line,that is slowly starting to change but they still rely to much on a few
when they do get the ball they go boundary every time
switch the play on very few occassions
have a good midfield but they all play the same ,need to go away from always the running players and put at least one in and under player in their
are to easily pushed off the ball
no real direction from a football sense
the coaching panel has been good for them in the past but they are now being held back
i know they are getting some great advice(naley)but its interesting watching that at the breaks,they take in what he has to say with eyes wide open but can not say the same enthusiasm with head coach
have never thought myself that fathers coaching sons above juniors is a good idea
their best win this year was against west croydon but if you really look at the game properly trhey were lucky on the day:3 goals over the top ran thru
2 boundary goals that will never be repeated
and more importantly played a hawks team who tried to beat lockleys by playing their game and not the hawks normal style.
i will leave it up to you to read between the lines and see what i think the real problem is.
i know a lot will dismiss this but just my opion[/quote]
To cut a long story short, basically the past 3 yrs (when we played them-Heccies) they just haven't had enough quality key position players. Voyzey was the only one that springs to mind.
And you're right they relied on too few too often e.g. Corbs, Mickan etc
