HELP ADVICE ON 6 A SIDE REQUIRED

Hi there im a newcomer and would like to ask some advice about 6 a side tactics.

We are a new team of older players between 30 and 40 yo all are reasonable players but none are fit. The league we are in has a majority of younger teams and whilst we are not losing by much we are still losing. we play GK 2-2-1 although the back two are not very diciplined and the middle two are not too good at getting back to support. WHAT DO WE DO ??

sounds like you've pointed out the main factor - the midfield - vital for them to get back, if they cant get back because they are tired, then they need to train harder.

2-2-1 is best formation but the mid HAS to run back to suppoort

tnx,

Toying witht he idea of playing 3 at back, but its probably all in vain unless we get fit

you gotta go for a holding midfielder

Try staying 2 at the back and have your midfielders take turns going forward so the defence always has some protection. They're more likely to stay back that way as well

Tried all of the above and lost 6-2 gonna try 1-1-1 and 2 wing backs. Also i think we need to play higher up the pitch to give the opposition something to worry about

How big is the pitch, and how long are your matches?

seems like your okay attacking just not at the back...

we are last in the league, we play again monday i think we will play 2-2-1- again but the mid field will have to get back when needed. The keeper let 3 in on the near post so if he livens up we may have a chance. the last game we played was against probably the best team so far.

i'll keep you posted

dont know the size of the pitch i'll let you know . we play 14 2 14
