Thought I would start a new one as pre season is well underway  Good luck guys and girls for the new season 
I've recently signed for Worthing United, first friendly is this Tuesday against lower division Southwick. Have Horsham in a couple of weeks which will be a good match.
Aim for season - to be a regular in midfield, and notch a few more goals than last couple of seasons! Hoping we can finish in a top 10 spot although will be tough.

First pre-season training last night, to say im aching today is an understatment 
Same league as we finished mid-table last year due to injuries & having to play 7 games in 2 weeks & the end of the season due to posponements, kinda run out of steam playing everyothe day for 2 weeks.
Playing for same team as last year, won manager's player of the season so hoping to keep up the same good form. My main aim is to score a few goals this season. Played centre midfield for 90% of last season and didn't manage a single goal

My pre-season started this week, after a long spell in Brazil just relaxing it's been a tough week, as I play 6aside on Monday and Thursday's, training for Wickersley FC County Seniors on Tuesday's, Training for my Sunday team on a Wednesday plus games on Saturday and Sunday so I'm in for a hard season I think, however all the 6aside games and training is all on a 3G pitch so not bad on the ankles and knees.

Because we've had problems with securing the training area and home ground to play friendlies, local council were taking a laid back approach to our applications.

Jill how the hell do you know Paul? But year your right! I think they are hoping for a better season this year after finishing down near the bottom 4-5 last season. Got some handy young players from what I've seen thus far.

last night at training our manager went through some bollocks about the principals of attack.
movement, dispersal, depth, width, distance, penetration and fianlly innovation.
he noted there the team had a couple of innovaters....we all looked at one player in particular as he's awesome. but the manager pointed to me and said i was a good innovater, i made things happen.
a confidence boost there  finally a manager who knows what he's doing.
would never get that kind of recognition on my sunday team, simply because the majority havnt got a clue

Worthing United 4 - 3 Newhaven
Cracking pre season game against Newhaven who are two leagues below us in Sussex county 3 - All of their goals came from awful defensive errors, but your's truly popped up with the winner 5 mins from time.
Cross came in, one touch past the onrushing keeper, and a cool left footed finish leaving the defender on the line with no chance Southwick next for us on Tuesday night from division 2..

Won 8-5 in above mentioned pre-season friendly. Team we played were a league about us as well so fairly pleased.
Was just nice to get a full run out & play 11-a-side again, forgot how hard it is with a hangover though

Played our first friendly today, came on second half as centre half, Weird as haven't played in defence for years, had a go at eating my own tongue after slipping into someones elbow, so defo time to invest in some moudlies, apart from that did ok, we won 4-1, managed to get an assist, played quite a few nice through balls.

Started pre season training for a new team, working on fitness mostly in the past few weeks.
Not sure if I will fit into the 1st team or reserves. Ideally the reserves to start with plus im not a big lad so using my strength could hold me back.
Not enough people at training to make 2 teams at the moment but will see how we get on.

Well, we're all back from holiday now and hopefully have a friendly tomorrow night and sunday morning. Went for a jog last night and dont seem to have lost much fitness while away which is good.
Got a training session tonight and also have to pay our subs for the season

Got our first pre season friendly tonight kick off at 6:30. Since it's a new team im playing for the manager has only seen me play twice.
last night he asked me to play a holding midfield role so I can basically keep the ball moving and get the passing going. Apparently that was a problem for them last season, not enough passing/movement.
We are missing a couple of players mind. 1 is on holiday for a week and 2 have broken there arms in the last month
Hope we don't get hammered tonight I will try and score

No more boring a position Ryan! Although on the plus side if you are a good player then you barely have to venture out of the centre circle

Disagree robbo and if he gets his position right his position is a good place to build the team round it's hardly likely in sunday league that the team will be that strict about there positions that he'll never leave the the cnetre circle
