Both have been very poor in the last 2 games. Not sure what the completion rate was today but would be surprised if we were more than 60%

Cost us last week, could have cost us this week and needs sorting ASAP

Agreed

I agree.

Our saving grace was our line defence and the fact that HKR were as bad as us.

1st couple of games this season, we valued the ball, we seem to have slipped into our old habits again.

The fact that it was a Derby and we were desperate to break a losing run is a mitigating factor IMO, but I generally agree. We must be one of the worst sides around for being able to pin the opposition in their half and apply sustained pressure.

Definitely work to be done there.

Balls to it being a derby........should improve no matter who we are playing.

I made a similar point on the 'defence' thread. Our attacking play in general needs work, but particularly completion rate and discipline. Some of the offloads (Radford's springs to mind) were just stupid.

Spot on.

Are you crackers? Derbies are different games altogether.

What was the excuse for the same last week?

I think we've been poor with ball in hand for a few games now .The 1st half today was shocking imo. No dummy runners , Hardly any support play, Player's receiving the ball stood still. Until we speed our play the ball and passing up , Players are going to get the ball with the defender on him straight away which leaves no time for the offload.

Edited for accuracy

Bang on the money!!!

Could be improved with decent preparation.

But,this has been consistent for so long now, can't see it being fixed
for another 2 years- at least!!
