Well Armstrong thinks he's playing rugby; how did he miss & what an own goal.
Well I am flabbergasted.
When we coach players we told them them ball is always played forward, not back & not across pitch in front of your own goal.


Always play forward. What's up with these players.
On this performance, I am dreading the Baggies match.
I know it's early days but unless we improve things quickly.
Middle table finish.

Not sure what coaching badges you have done, but we definitely do not coach players to always play forward. We also do not say never play back or across goal - it's not the 1980s!
Coaching and football have moved on, Moby, and football is played in all directions in order to move the opposition around and find spaces and passing lines!
However, today we had a player who knocked a bouncing ball back towards goal at chest height to a goalkeeper who had come off his line and didn't call.

Also, I'm not understanding why Sa did not just knock the ball away and give away an indirect free kick. Two very poor players!

When passing back, always to the side of the net in case something goes wrong.
