Really feel that our game management let us down again yesterday , at 60 minutes in bad conditions with both teams struggling to complete a set and endless knock ons , that was the time to properly set up and take a drop goal and the lead , putting extra pressure on the opposition , we always seem to be re-active rather than pro-active

The main reason York won was due to the superb kicking game by the scrum half Robinson. He put so much pace on the kick off after we drew level that it was almost impossible to stop, while his kicking on the 6th tackle continually meant we had to clear our lines from within our 20. Woods disappointing again and all the creativity came from Ridyard.

So it was Woods fault? Riddy took the HB position,can't really say his kicking game was on form. Once Pownall went to fullback we ended up weak on the edge again. People keep going on about we need forwards when really we need 3/4 with pace.

You mean he actually tried something different from the kick off rather than just kicking it to the opposition full back as we do ?

Well I was about to say that if he could do it why couldn’t Riddy try it ? Having said that, Riddy did a superb kickoff in the second half, that caused the full back to concede a drop out, plus we were definitely more creative when he moved to half back.

Riddy missed a relatively easy penalty in his terms. Tight games call for calm heads. The move to HB was forced,not choice. But if you take players out of their comfort zone this is what happens.
Again needs must at times. We have no FB and Pownall can do both but it still leaves us short somewhere.
