This particular fixture is the last game of the season where the mountain looks like being a bit too high for us to climb. A performance like today and a 3-4 goal loss would be an exceptional result.
Every other game on the fixture for the remainder of the year looks like we will either start as favourites or at the very worst, be moderately ‘winnable’ for us. Even considering hoodoos etc.
I don’t think any club is going to experience a tougher 5 game stretch than what we have had to endure. And the best thing? We are only 1 game away from it ending.
His strength is playing as a BBM, but he was stuck on the wing. It didn’t work so well when he was at the Blooos, and didn’t work today either. He needed to go into the centre after half time, and his absence from being part of the rotation was bewlidering and cost us drive when PA were getting on top.
I dont hate Phillips, but i cant understand the defence of him. He hasnt done alot bar an occasional mark and frees up Dtaper. But surely Bryan should be tried because im sure he will provide atvthevvery least the same oitput, but may well be a huge upgrade. And hes the future.
Too big of an ask to win next week not entirely unhappy being 4-5 after round 9 after playing 5 great sides in a row.
We should take the opportunity to rest a couple of guys to load up against the tigers.
What has been pleasing is that we aren’t getting on the receiving end of 10 goal smashings unlike previous seasons. Defensively we are more sound but the lack of depth in our list is really hurting us at the moment. If we are able to even be competitive against the Lions, that’ll be almost enough for me.
