   Well said again Tim. Whilst there are positives to be taken my frustration stems from knowing that this team is capable of playing much better.

   Unnecessary turn over has long been an issue and playing a team like city we certainly did not need to gift them easy possession yet despite the vast majority of the game being played in the bees half we managed to give them 10 free kicks from being off-side. To me this lack of awareness borders on criminal.

   We also seem to fair badly in getting benefit from deflections/ricochets. Sometimes this is down to just dumb luck but if we weren’t having to work so hard off the ball anticipation levels could well go up

   Looking forward to Saturday and the games after survival has been assured.

   Cheers Aussie. It was always going to be unrealistic to sustain the brilliant start we made to the season over nine months, but if those injuries hadn’t hit all at once in around October time, I reckon we could have kept the momentum going a bit longer. The recent run of games was never going to muster many points, but the coming weeks now will be crucial. So glad we’ve pretty much got our squad back for the games against those around us, just need one win and the confidence will start flowing.
