I'm not prophetic or claim to know everything but when I hand out instructions or predict opposition tactics, I expect the players to listen and do as I say.
I'm not looking at the match v Sutherland in a negative light because if we should learn anything from that match, it's that we can match anyone, anytime, anywhere.
It's exactly as I said before the match. We control the result by deciding if we:
1. hold pocession
2. pass accurately
3. transition quickly
4. we work hard when we don't have the ball
I had the benefit of watching 32 minutes of video from the match and it's evident that the four points are what we have to concentrate on. Especially points 3 and 4.
You will be able to study the video soon but my take on it is this:
1. Two goals were scored directly from us giving pocession away
2. Lack of communication costs us badly
3. Ball watching and not making fast recovery runs are costing us
4. We had good chances to score more goals (as they did) and overall we were up for it for most of the match
Just to remind you how costly ball watching and stupid mistakes can cost you, please look at this goal. One mistake and a match is lost.... The defender left the one man who could score because he was ball watching.
Always track the runners and pick up players quickly otherwise the match is lost.
