Baggers I honestly believe that we can put the majority of our current problems down to a few physically immature players, poor skill execution by too many, too much poor tackling allowing opposition players to break away and create damaging situations and poor decision making under pressure resulting in punishing turnovers. We have too many players atm that struggle to maintain any kind of composure under pressure. Teague's and SOS's immediate challenge is to rectify this by trading/recruiting more skilled mature players and existing player development. When these key areas have been addressed then the game plan, in game coaching moves and tactics will become critical factors for success. Until then we will continually dragged back - we can't really build until we get the foundations right.
Too true, Fluffy One, though I don't think we're far off. Unfortunately we also seem to take a passenger or 3 into games which is to be expected with our list rebuild probably still this year recruiting and next from being complete. We convert with those few shots on goal early in the last and the game could have been very different... which comes down to taking full advantage of your opportunities which we've both pointed out, as has DT.
