Quote ="DETROITSOUL"We have gamebreakers in the team its just that we cant do the basics right
like move up in defence and back up the player in motion
.Today 80% of the team did,nt know what the other 20% were doing
half the time if they would just follow the bl--dy player with the ball instead of standing still I,m not a big fan of Watson but if certain players would just put in more effort and move onto his passes at pace instead of
taking them standing still the breaks would come that i have no doubt
Durbin i,d sign him up for 3 years he,s head and shoulders above any
playmaker we,ve had in the past few years and his kickin game is pretty good too top player that lad.. We defo need a class centre and another big forward Hobbo today played out of his skin when he was on the field
another big rugged lad like him and we wont be far off at the end of the season..'"
Well I'm sitting here nearly 24 hours on, and I still can't quite beleive we won that game. Haven were faster, stronger and displayed better skill and guile than us. At the game I was feeling a bit down about the performance, but later, on reflection, one thing that did stand out was the guts and determination from the team. To keep going and believing when on the back foot for large parts of the game is very comendable and it is something to take encouragement from.
I have never been a fan of Hobbo but he typified the attitude yesterday. When he was brought off late in the second half he was clearly on his last legs, but when he was brought back on for those last few minutes he was running down the line desperate to get back on the pitch. Then of course he put in some barnstorming clearing runs. Higson was just as eager late on as well underlining the general attitude.
