POMO

I just watched the Soccer AM feature on League 2 goals last Saturday and EVERY ONE of them arose from having the ball in the POMO position.........................Position Of maximum Opportunity at the earliest moment.

They were ALL either from re-starts or balls played directly into the box from deep positions underlining my point that at the level WE play our football (Lge 2 & BSP) this is by far the most productive method of scoring and hence, accumulating points.

I'm not saying don't try and be constructive with your play but I am saying be aware that quick balls into dangerous positions that will challenge defenders into making hasty decisions (and thus errors) ...................and don't start your"hoofball"rubbish again - direct football and quick delivery is NOT hoofball!

...................and then the goals from Lge1 show a percentage of more measured build up creeping in, but that the defenders back off a lot more in this division thus there is available space in which to pass the ball in front of them.

Conclusion: play the way that is most effective for YOUR players and the way the opposition reveal their weaknesses.
