Quote: bullinenemyland "Meanwhile JBF looked fairly solid in defence but offered little attacking threat. Think this is the Kear influence which Vila alluded to in the Southbank before the game (said Kear didn't mind handing the ball to the other team and challenging them to break through us).
I'd like to see Oakes get a game versus Oldham to see where he is, but can't see it happening. Think its much more likely that Smith will be back in for Gibson.'"
There's more evidence to that too when after one of the friendlies (think it was one of the ones we scored nil in), Kear pretty much said they hadn't spent any time in training working on attack since he got there, it had all been defence.
To be fair, it's exactly what the squad needed. The Bulls defence has been bang average at best for far too long. It may not make for fancy and entertaining games, but it's a lot less frustrating to watch.
