Final Comments:
We are faster and quicker than last season, we should be able to get our and run with the ball and press more than last season. Weakness is our taking care of the ball and scoring. We need to be able to score consistently throughout the game. We need to stay healthy, our team was quarantine for 42 days last season, hopefully that will not happen again.
