Wouldn't most teams attempt to exploit that by running at those players who know one mistimed challenge and it's an early bath? We opted for carrying on the long ball into the middle technique instead for reasons unknown
Absolutely, ST. As soon as their right back made two rash challenges and got booked he was only one late lunge away from a red. I was incredibly surprised to see that we didn’t focus on getting Isgrove one on one against him so that he could force the right back to commit himself in the challenge. Teams do it against us and that’s on area that I think we really need to improve on.
What baffled me is that it was Isgrove who drew the 2 bookings. Then we switched him to the other side.
youre right, the only thing is we have been the same for years, so why hasnt it been sorted out by now ????? you cant say we have a naive manger and coaching staff, or can you?
