Poole are enjoying a purple match, and showing the best form in the league. Players are now uncompromising, in terms of wanting possession, but the work ethic and creativity among the entire team puts any other side at a disadvantage. When Poole dictate the pace, other sides can't match them. Beaconsfield weren't as bad as their manager said. They play a passing game, which relies more on technique than a player's will to win the ball. The defence had no answers, and weren't up for the battle, although the forward play was good, but wasteful. They have to realise the position they're in, and points are vital. The defence never looked confident about winning the ball off attackers, and the forwards seem to think passing the ball to their main striker was enough. They need to become fearless in defence, and move the ball around better upfront. They have a great chance to outplay Plymouth, but Winchester won't be as relentless as Poole. They like to keep hold of the ball, but the defence has to outwork and be better. A different test, but if they do their jobs, gaps will open up for the midfield to play in the forwards. Beaconsfield are very good from midfield upwards, but the defence are like a team from the league below.
