They'll need more time with the manager to work on movement, but baby steps eh.


I don't get it, people are happy to lump the ball forward and lose it, which isn't great to watch.
Yet when we keep the ball, OK it wasn't great to watch but we weren't constantly giving the ball to the opposition, so we had possession of the ball and weren't in any danger to concede..fans don't like that? So they are happier to see us lump it forward and lose it than try and hold onto in and use it.

Baffles the brain.
