Dan Belcher missed a few tackles and I don't think he had his greatest night, but someone obviously viewed that differently than me. I agree with Stealth, we did lack creativity at times. Certainly in the first half Hutch had a hughe overlap, but instead we chose to go down the short side and came away with nothing. Was that lack of vision, or just a error in numbering? Maybe a bit of both. I'm very careful not to criticise the half backs too much. There an easy target at the moment. In the main the team is as last year, with the exception of the half backs and it will take time. Danny Jones may have lacked a bit of pace, but he was creative and we are missing him. He has gone now and we have to work with what we've got.
Saturday was my first game where I was able to see the whole match, rather than 5/10 minute highlights. I was concerned that we lacked creativity at the half back area. It's still early days and hope they will come good.
As JD said in his after match speech, our defence is the first 15 minutes or so was poor and old habits seemed to creep in. Lawton didn't play so I wonder how much of a factor this was. Duffy was also missing on the right so there were a few changes in the backs.
On the postives we started the second half like a different team and at one point I thought we might get back into it, but a few mistakes let them get away.
Lets see what happens when they return is just under 2 weeks. Heres hoping.......
