Quote: The Magic Rat "He may not coach them to drop the ball, kick out on the full etc, but what does he coach them to do?
Lack of line speed, players receiving the ball stood still, no organisation in attack are all issues that he hasn't been able to address. It is not only new players underperforming, the team as a whole have been underperforming for the last season and a bit under Smith.'"
On last night’s performance I’d agree with you.
Overall though I do think the side has progressed from last year. Frankly I just want to get out of this crappy weather and see what we look like further into the season.
Handley, Croft, Smith, Ackers, Martin, Newman, Mik, Sangare have been in decent form this year. Bentley has been better than last year. Miller has had lots of good moments.
Holroyd, McDonnell, Mom look undercooked.
We aren’t playing well enough as a team though and we have a couple of individuals struggling for form.
