How many passes went astray?
How little movement off the ball?
How many moves with ten passes? Or eight? Or even six? Four anyone?
Where had the all the superb ‘ball stealing’ at Brackley gone?
Throws were whistling in towards the penalty spot – did our big guys get to them first? Not very often.
Long balls are a part of football but lumping it up-field in a constant hit and hope was dreadful to watch and will cost us many points this season.
I do not think that you can easily trot out five subs in fairly quick succession and keep the team’s balance.
It was horrid to watch but a good way to wipe hundreds off our home gates.
We certainly did not deserve three points.
