Player Tasks:

- 6, 8 & 10, combine with the front three to create scoring chances

- 7 & 11 use width effectively to create chances

- 9 to receive the ball inside the 18 yard box or show for the ball

- As the ball is played forward can one of our midfielders get forward?

- When our midfield have the ball, can our 7 & 11 be on the sideline to create width and room for our 9 & 10?

- Can 9 position themselves so they can receive the ball inside the 18 yard box?

- If 9 shows for the ball beyond 10, can 10 make a forward run into the box?
