I don't think that hanging on after such a dominant effort for most of the match was very edifying.
For the last three games, since Beryl has got her act performing nicely, we have looked the business and my forecast of a very tidy sausage roll was looking not unreasonable (losing no more than two in the run in ... max).
But in the space of less than 10 minutes we lost all structure, we panicked and we forgot about containment by clever choices/ kicks to keep Oldham firmly in their own twenty.
We got sloppy, unruthless and unprofessional.
And no way could we get by York if we get the chance and with that attitude.
Kill off the opposition!
Oldham?
Away from home?
Ordinary!
It is easy to see how a very depleted Keighley beat them a few weeks back ... quite a surprise it seemed at the time.
They are workmanlike ... that's it ... and they never capitulated, so full marks for that!
But really, we had them by the goolies and were taking turns to smash their fullback for laughs.
I wouldn't know whether to praise them or bollock them ... praise them for all the good work I suppose.
But I left feeling a bit deflated ... we aren't worldbeaters after all.
We have to return to having a firm structure at Coventry and play to our strengths.
Bish was totally underutilised I feel ... for example.
In general I think we have loads of areas for improvement ... a few examples are ... Litten should scoot more from the play the ball.
Martin (and Tali to some degree) should learn how to 'step' because just running straight into defenders is not as productive and is asking to get injured.
Can't fault their bravery.
Bish needs involving a lot more ... he is really good and is wasted.
And so on ...
