Don’t know who this person is but they’re very smart!

Sums it up perfectly, both the good and bad.

That’s a very long way of saying we pass sideways and backwards too much, which is what 90% of our fans already knew.
Fortunately, the players we have brought in now enable us to get the ball forward quicker.
My only concern about us at the moment is that when we take the lead, the whole team drops 20 yards further back and we invite pressure. We also try to pass the ball around the back, which again invites the opposition to come onto us.

Let’s be brave, and if we take the lead don’t change the way we play! If we’re leading with 15 to go then sit back but not with 60 minutes left in the game. Great result yesterday but let’s try and make things easier for ourselves in future games.
