sorry whats holding them back dee man?

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]
I haven't seen Lockleys, but you're kidding aren't you? I can't believe anyone has picked Lockleys when they are that bad! I'd hate to see your appraisal of a bottom side.....would be about 5 pages long

My 2 dollars worth re Lockleys, i found them very good when we were ther in 2008. Good running side and unstoppable when they had momentum. Issue was key position, really didnt have any. So if they were up and about they were fine BUT if it was tight and a game in the balance would stumble a bit.

Does not surprise me at all they are going well now

you've it the nail on the head there mate.... if u were talking about the lockleys of years gone past.

IMO they are a totally different team, not focused on a few players anymore to get the job done.they now have 21 contributors week in week out and the inclusions of a few hard nuts into the team have done wonders for them.

What's your role at ROCs?

Well done Dee Man, to have the courage to put forward your assessments of CLG & LFC. We all asked for your opinion and you gave it fair and square. Fortunatelly I think some of those challenges for LFC have been on the table for a while and ARE being addressed, hence the improvement. And of course a little bit of luck always goes a long way in the Big Games.

All constructive and independent observations, I'd be keen to hear your assessments of WC - KFC & HDFC. I know you've seen all of them.

Look of course it's only one man's opinion and for those with an agenda or for those who want to focus on one little thing you may have said, well they'll never understand where your coming from.

But as Big Picture stuff these observations are interesting and informative AND most importantly from someone who doesn't have an axe to grind or an agenda. Well Done!

theres one thing lockleys have done what i can see without any real facts looking in from the outside is that they have indroduced a C grade and gaind the depth they needed, you can prove that by the results by the B grade have produced

Think you can justify that with their junior set up and not the c grade introduction. We have no C grade and we're going just aswell as Lockleys in the 2's. I think our junior set up has produced this and luckily for us we still have another 2-3 years of solid quality juniors coming though......

[norm11]

Has trinity coach had long enough at the helm? Not bagging Kieth but just interested on everybodies view.

Agreed but they have always had a solid juniors.
And all i sugest is that the C grade teams would add a bit extra for a senior side of any club it keeps the welth of knowlage you have with older players and more numbers to choose from,
