To play with ten players for over half of the match is never going to be easy against anybody, particularly on their home field. But I thought the team adjusted fairly well and at times we looked really good with only ten players. Still, it's a win, and it's a win for the Rivalry Series and I'm happy about that. |
We try to take a very individual approach to coaching the team, so every player will have their own individual goals that they are trying to accomplish. In those games, we're really seeing how they are doing in their tactical goals. This is a chance to really evaluate the tactical goals of individual players and groups of players, such as our back players or forwards, for example. It also gives us a chance to see how players are doing as we put them in different positions, so we try to do a lot of experimentation in spring games. |
We've lost two 1-0 games and another one 2-1. We're right there in every game; we've just got to get over that hump. |
We've made a lot of lineup moves since then, they've made a lot of changes since then. We've been scoring a few runs since then, hopefully that will continue. |
You want to come into a tournament and get there, and prepare and feel prepared. For me, I got in two of the events on Wednesday. It's challenging. |
