“A brutal game for the poor humans. This team seems forever cursed.

I was very impressed with the team of my opponent. It contains many S5 players and excellent mobility throwers and blitzers. It is also expertly handled by my opponent coach. I did struggle to get any traction, and was unable to provide an interesting game.

The coach Gartch did give generous advices too.

"in first half, you did not had enought players on left side and then I could advance"

After I suffer some removals, I pull too hard to one side to try and come around to apply pressure. This left one side of pitch exposed. The coach Gartch is correct. I did not see how I could pressure ball in any capacity to force score earlier, however it is another advice given to me. I will look to make happen.

There was adversity in the match, and it did feel hopeless and disheartening, but I still played to learn. I tried some chain push and box manipulate for fun, and did have a plan for offence but had poor positioning and re-roll management so could not take action on it before failure.

My learnings:

1) Have options available across width of pitch. Do not pull too hard to one side.

2) Throw more pressure to the stall to force an earlier score.

Thank you coach Gartch for the advices. It is much appreciate.
