While we’re throwing around theories that are unsupported, what about the effects of the saga on the fitness people (yes long bow)
You could look at caution around time frames for returning injured players, lack of fitness, players on field looking like they’re not sticking tackles for what could be fear of injury, large numbers of soft tissue injuries etc.
Again, completely off the cuff and rightly posted in the tin foil hat thread.
I do remember one of the theories for being so ■■■■ was that we didn’t have a new state of the art training facility. Now we have one and we are still ■■■■.
You can read the Thread title as implying we attack down the left wing too often.
This could be true.
With our left footers, starting from to Saad to Heppell and Merrett, and so on, this means we’re sweeping the boundary line continually, making players easy to pressure and harder to bring the ball back infield with a change of direction
