The positives were;- Rezo Makalatiya and Arjaldo Karaj started their first league game of the season. Both players have started to impress in training.
- Shi Yang Zhang is continuing to develop his football skill (strong in the tackle, his positioning without the ball and his eagerness to join the attack).
- Marco Ferrari is continuing to develop into a dominant play maker for St. Clare's. He made some really good decisions with the ball yesterday and scored an excellent goal.
- Remigiusz Manko and Janez Kosec played in two different positions yesterday, displaying their versatility and fitness levels. Janez also scored a goal from the penalty spot.
- The team was very compact and organised in their formation for the first half.
- Choosing the right shot choice and technique to score goals
- Players thinking individually what to do when the team does not have possession of the ball
