This is exactly what's needed. Ball into the corners, wing backs high, pinning in the opposition. Ask Crowley to join in scrapping for the ball for the first ten minutes. Our current game plan allows us to be under pressure from the off. It isn't rocket science.Originally Posted by SmiffyPie
This first five minutes conceding thing is easy to fix, just tell the defence to lump it forward until ten minutes have gone. They will be settled in then and the intial press from the other team will have eased off. It's no wonder we get into trouble when six players are pressing three who are trying to tippy tappy out
On a positive note, I've started to season my hat. I'm still not 100% convinced by Maynard but his hooking of Hinchy (SM made nice noises in the presser) was ***** and he didn't p*** about doing it. Well done SM.
For the moaners and groaners on here. This league is historically tight. Nearly a third of the season gone and we are in an automatic spot. All teams have injuries, but it is fair that few could be as debilitating as us not having Jones available, yet we continue to pick up points without our best player. The squad is much stronger than last season and on balance, there is much to be happy about even if we are not blowing sides away. The defensive recruitment has been excellent and that is allowing us to pick up points late in games that would've been out of reach last season. COYP
