Quote: Bombed Out "He's referring to our style of play which ordinarily never changes rather than the quality of player.
5 drives and a kick tiring the forwards out. Slow ptb allowing the defence to restrict our movement and our normally static defensive line waiting for the opposition to come to us.
That has nothing to do with injuries but rather our structures.'"
But I don’t think things like a slow ptb (apart from when trying to win a penalty) and a static defensive line is part of your structure.
I think they’re more reflections of performance, which is to some extent down to injuries. For example, a less experienced or able player is probably less likely to win the collision, meaning no quick ptb in attack, or allowing the opposition one while your defensive is still retreating the 10.
More individual errors typically lead to more fatigue for the team as whole, as well.
