Basher Blog: New Look Continetals Play Like the Old

           This supporter has been to every game this season and has seen  the same result from last two summer fixtures of 2008 until now..... LOSSES. A coaching change was implimented March 3rd, making current captain Dan Clayton manager, replacing with now healed first choice keeper Ryan Vinton. Also Charman of the Board, Vinton praised Clayton's motivational ability and soccer IQ. There is no doubt the lads have been fiester, more spirited, and the overall talent level is improved but as for his "soccer IQ", give me a break.

  His Choice to have a goalkeeper battle during meaniful games led to at least two losses. Not calling Mark Basso at all a lesser choice, but it put extra unnecessary pressure on the both lads  leading to unnecessary risks to try to impress the gaffer. His biggest blunder must be his substitutions. he has lads on shifts like its a bloddy hocky game. LET THE BOYS PLAY. I understand early in the season when people are not at their prime, but after a few games ease the rotation PLEASE! Clayton is still a good player but he should just PLAY and be fired as coach.

   I must admit that the talent level has risen, but mental mistakes late in the half have got to be erased, like the last fixture against Lake Parsippany, the game should have gone tied into half, but the inability to clear lead to a goal, which in the second half, they had to chase to game and conceded two more goals. Flashy or not, the boys need to play well tonight, or the gaffer will be canned.
