Must say a fair analysis there Buddha-Originally Posted by Buddha
Me personally:
Dungog v kurri - (2-1)Can agree lack of trials did take its toll, but I believe after a few positional twirks and working on our transition from mids to up front we will be a much better team. We held possession amazingly for the first part of the game and looked very solid, but let the game get away from us with frustration kicking in and everyone decided to change tactics after that. Kurri Kurri did well to hold Stockton to 2-0 without a full side and showed they are going to go well this year. But I'm confident we can play the full game this time round.
Stockton v Beresfield - (1-1) Both teams seem very strong. Stockton from reports have made errors at the back in most of their trials and cup games, though I believe Stockton would play the better football it may let Beresfield in for a draw or may even see Beresfield sneak a win if they can capitalize on the chances offered.
Simba v Toronto - (2-2) Don't know a lot about simba, but I think 3-1 was decent against Beresfield. I Assume simba haven't had many trials so they may kick in to gear this wkd. Toronto have had good results in trials/cup games, but most games have always conceded a few goals. simba who is normally strong in attack may take advantage of that. But Toronto I think would be more likely to snatch it then simba.
Mayfield v Cooks Hill - (2-3) Cooks hill I think will be similar to last year, mid table. Against us we found plenty of space switching it regularly when we controlled the game but didn't take advantage of all the space. Second half when we were absolutely terrible, they couldn't get the ball in the net and only passed it around nicely when they had all the time in the world to. But they do have players who can score on their day but I believe they will let plenty in at the same time. Mayfield I think could possibly let them off the hook and allow cooks hill to grab the win.
