Corbett`s Timing Wrong
Timing is everything in football - and Bottesford Town caretaker-manager John Corbett accepts his has been all wrong.
0 CommentsPublished 2nd April 2012
Taking charge of the Baris Northern Counties East League Division One club with just eight games to go, he has found it difficult to implement his ideas. That is why, he believes, Bottesford remain so inconsistent, with a win, a draw and two defeats in the first four matches since he replaced Dave Andrews.
Corbett though, is confident Town's topsy-turvy tendencies can be ironed out in the long run.
"In my mind I know how I want us to play football. It's something the lads are getting used to," he said.
"Maybe it's the wrong time of the year to introduce it.
"It's something I'm looking forward to in pre-season – starting afresh and getting the style of play I want into the squad.
"It takes time and hard work on the training ground.
"You can't just turn up on a Saturday and expect the players to do what you want them to do.
"Once we've had a good pre-season and done the work we need to do, we can carry that forward into games.
"They've shown glimpses of it in the past few games, we're just inconsistent.
"It's nothing I didn't expect.
"I've been in and around Non-League football for a number of years.
"The timing of me taking over hasn't really helped me out with what I want to implement.
"I've got good ideas on what I think is the right way to play football, but it's not something the players have been used to.
"At least I can start putting some ideas and practices in action, but the main part of the work will be done in pre-season.
"We've got some tough games left," said Corbett, who has been helped by Andy Graham and Roger Gray on the sidelines.
"We've just got to go out, be competitive and keep focused to the style of football I want to play.
"We've shown we can beat teams at the top end of the table, it's just getting the consistency.
"The pleasing thing is we've only conceded from set-plays in the last three games.
"It's disappointing because we've stressed the importance of set-plays, but we've not conceded from open play.
"Concentration levels have got to be there for the full 90 minutes.”
