Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "I think are being a little economical with what actually happened yesterday.
Are you seriously having a go at Turner for trying to intercept the ball? An interception which was practically put on a plate for him by a poor pass? An interception which he got to but couldn't quite take, meaning the clock was eaten down?
Turner did make yards even when faced with several defenders in his face.
Manu, now that's a different matter. It was his least effective game for the best part of two seasons. On four occasions yesterday he had either an overlap or a massive gap to play his centre into yet he decides to step into tackler, which as you put, were policing him well. Why step into the tacklers all the time when he was being wrapped up effectively?'"
Last 2 weeks he has gone for intercepts and they haven't come off, resulting in a repeat set of six, from which points have been conceded. As I said, they were both high risk plays, late in the tackle count, which if he had held his ground, we would hopefully have defended out.
I'm not knocking the kid cos he's (allegedly) leaving, I just want him to stop going for the glamour play, when we are not in a position to risk it.
