And Fleetwood have been relegated to League two where Hayes could definitely do a job. |

Any player that doesn't have a mistake in them surely wouldn't be playing in the National League? |

Isn't that the whole idea of total options though if a long ball is the best option at the time take it, other times slow patient build up might be the option to take. |

DEFENDING
All Academy teams will be encouraged to deny the opposition space and time pressing the ball when possession is lost. This emphasises the constant movement philosophy, especially:
• Run To Retrieve
With the attacking philosophy of overloading central areas, we will look to regain the ball as quickly as possible. In the attacking and mid thirds areas of the pitch we will encourage the players to show the opposition inside, in the defending third show away from goal.
If the opposition play though the press the next phase of our defending would be to recover, deny, delay, control and restrain the opposition’s penetration with the emphasis on regaining the ball.
This doesn't sound pedestrian and boring. |

On the subject of the academy. This is what is on their website under the heading
ATTACKING
We will encourage all teams to play fast attacking football using the traits of the football club, body shape, soft touches and fast passing. Constant Movement is a fundamental trait of the Attacking play and practices, formations and individual roles are designed to encourage players to:
• Run to Receive
• Run to Deceive
• Run To Retrieve
All Academy teams will try to play out from the Goalkeeper, who will be the focal pivot of the start of our attacking play, highest pass first, and try to penetrate through the thirds. On entering the middle third of the pitch we will look to create over-loads, utilise rotation and play through central areas. This will also provide a base for balance and security.
We will look to create space throughout our play with multi-movements and support; players will be encouraged to drive and slide, drive and shoot, and the players have the licence to express themselves and ‘come alive’ in the final third where end product is a must.
I reckon if we did attack like that then there would be few complaints. |

I saw a video where a coach suggested a drill where the aim is to score a goal but the team gets more points the more passes they make prior to scoring. |

Mathematically we could have made the playoffs before the start of yesterday's game.
We were on 57

Wanting to football teams to death, I believe, was the phrase BBM attributed to Hill.
Who was responsible for the blue print of the academy? [Post edited 13 Apr 21:43]

Is there a risk of a disconnect between the youth/academy squads and the first team though? |

Sorry for repeating myself but what some of you want will require a marked change in tactics from bottom to top throughout the age groups. The ethos is 'Possession based' so if JM is given his marching orders the new head coach/manager will be expected to play possession based football. |

Drawing at HT which suits Wealdstone slightly more. Could we potentially relegate both Dorking and Boreham at San Spotty? |

Might it be worth investing in one or two of those pitch water rollers if we don't have one already of course.
Also it would be good to have an update regarding the pitch and the legal advice. [Post edited 10 Apr 15:29]
