We just look rash in our decisions when connell is off the pitch, he absolutely conducts everything, constantly pointing, directing and organising. Literally like an orchestral conductor
We've are in a very busy period of games and we had already won at half time. This half was about lots of subs and trying to save energy for the other two festive period games. No point tiring ourselves to try and win 7 nill again.
As brilliant as we were in the first half (and we really were) frustrating that the game management by the players has been really immature this second half. Given them half a sniff of a point with complacency when they came out chomping at the bit. Wasting possession at 3-0 with speculative silly shots etc. Hope we learn from this as better teams will punish us hard for this sort of stuff- the games not over til its over! We feel very very reliant on Connell too, if Styles is off Russell can't be the only answer we have when we're missing Connell. Brill game but needlessly added some suspense.
Don't know about having won at half time - on another day this could easily have gone very badly indeed. Edit: or maybe on this day.
