Use your bulk to scare the forwards into submission.
Re: So The Footy Rosters Came Out
Keeper... damn unlucky.
I was always a left back or central defence. My advice is to be the no-nonsense type defender. Just boot the ball upfield at every opportunity. Hold your ground and don't committ to a tackle unless you have to but if you do then do it right and break their shin bones. That's my style!
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

Try to stop the ball as frequently as possible using your face

Re: So The Footy Rosters Came Out
Tap your posts with your feet or hands every so often, it keeps their position in your mind, don't stray too far out in case you lose sense of where the nets are, rather embarrassing to look back to check and see the ball fly over your shoulder when you weren't looking. Don't go to ground too easily, most common rookie keeper mistake and makes life easy for the opposition, stay on your feet and make him make a decision.
Re: So The Footy Rosters Came Out
Keeper, you unlucky ..... But they say all keepers are a bit crazy so that'll probably work in your favor.
my advice:
- stay on your feet as long as possible in one-on-ones.
- never hesitate
- make a decision and stick with it for good or for worse
- have a good command of the area. In the box you're the leader of the defence.
- be as itimidating as possible towards attackers, many great keepers were really scary when they went for a ball (khan, Pfaff, ...)
And most importantly:
Learn the scorpion kick

No fear the forward will blink

When in doubt, punch it out. And talk to your defenders.

If by that you mean yell obscene nonsense backed up by wild and aimless arm gestures for the full 90 minutes, then yes.

Re: So The Footy Rosters Came Out
And don't forget, any mistakes you make are always a defenders fault. Always.

Now we're getting into the finer points of da game.

Re: So The Footy Rosters Came Out
I should point out I will be playing the most at right back (full back I guess not a sweeper)
Thanks for the tips

Re: So The Footy Rosters Came Out
Full back is easy. I've played full back a lot. Just force the attacker/midfielder to the outside and deny him a chance to get the ball in the box. I hope you're fast though.
Now wingback, that's were skill comes in.
Re: So The Footy Rosters Came Out
A good full back plays like a wing back anyway.
