Obviously
My comment wasn’t a criticism of Collins though, it was the tactic that highlighted his shortcoming

Let's get the important stuff out of the way first. With the 4 of us and 2 Rams couples, we were outnumbered but more than held our own. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. We did our best and emptied the available stock of Spitfire...
As rA wrote, nowt in it as far as the stats are concerned. Both 10 shots, both 5 on target. We hit the bar as well. I walked out of the ground thinking they deserved the points but that the 4-1 scoreline flattered them with 3 of the 4 being gifted by some poor defending.
Collins? Does a lot of good work so he's not a bad player. I've noticed from the start of the season that he doesn't jump for the ball when it's lumped forward to him, I also think that Didzy, when he's playing the 9 role, should jump more often than he does for high balls. IMO the tactic should be dropped as we don't have a proper "jumper" in the side. Another tactic that has been "found out" is Cash's long diagonals to NML. They are getting increasingly cut out by the oppo left back. Need to use it less. At least we hammered them on possession ;)
Grand 3 days out in Blighty for the Amsterdam 4. Next one for us is FGR away, another hospitality job. Can we drink em dry again? ;)
