    Sorry to be negative when were all on a high but
    We are clearly second best when it comes to heading it back n forwards
    When are the coaching staff going to realise this and encourage them to get it down .
    Obviously there is times when its needed and the wind didnt help today but it's been a problem for a while

    Wash your mouth out with soap.

    Head tennis is part of our team strategy.

    It is vertical and it enables us to thereafter hoof.

    Nothing to see here. Move on.

    We've only lost one game since Methuselah was a lad, focus on that.

    We need to go back to mads standing on the 6 yard box on goal kicks a sideways pass from collins to mads who either hoofs it giving possession away or taking a few touches play it around the back 4 and get pressed to death and concede i miss those days.

    How on Earth anyone is thinking thoughts like this is beyond me.

    And even worse, how anyone can question this "coaching staff" actually deserves contempt.

    Just enjoy it.

    It might be because we now have a few players above 5ft 6 tall

    You’ve answered your own question in the opening sentence.

    We’ll change how we play when we start dropping points.

    Yep - we all can't wait for the next round of head tennis.

    We were second best today though. Head tennis wise. Which is unusual.

    Is that being negative? If so, it's apparently beyond you and moaning so .....it's great that we won!

    Luckily goats are well known for multitasking. I find myself able to enjoy the win and the league position, whilst simultaneously moaning at the over-reliance on head tennis and aimless balls to no-one.

    This is the highest position we've been in for ages. Let's enjoy it while we can.

    Yes, it is contemptuous to question the abilities of our coaching staff currently, in my opinion. Maybe a marginally strong choice of word on my part, but the point stands.

    I think we’re pretty good at head tennis. We had a great game with Birmingham a few weeks ago.

    Comes from a philosophy of not messing about at the back. It’s all well and good saying bring it down if as soon as we bring it down we’re pressed into losing the ball.
