Quality player, total commitment, would love to see him stay in the side for the next 3 or 4 years, and I've stopped thinking we really need an actual right back. Jimmy is that now for us - some of the things you loose with his style you gain in other ways big time - the winner today I thought was an example.
But Macca - no. Different position, playing at a lower level, and too early to give him that mantle. |

High quality analysis aside we needed to have got 3 points against those gimps today. Thank god we eventually figured out how to. Moving in the right direction. |

A friend of mine is quit heavily into coordinating their flags at away matches. Happy to offer him up as a human sacrifice. |

Off topic from this lovely Christmas romance, but the last two immigration experiences I've had at JFK are downright embarrassing in terms of how long its taken, and that's just the US citizen/green card line.
Total mess, 1 person at the desk, no working e-gates (do they even still exist?). What is it, $200 for 'global entry'? and they were just as stuck.
Near the end of my 1 hour wait in October the guy behind me mumbled to the beleaguered official if armed forces can get priority - this is after him standing there the whole time for some reason. He gets asked if he's got proof and pulls out his police ID to which he got a LOAD of colourful push-back from all of us around him - was the most enjoyable part of the experience really.
And the foreign passport holder line/queue is far too often 3 or 4 times longer. People arriving in the richest country in the world waiting an age just to get through to their bags. Embarrassing. |

I've got a terrible memory for the detail of games, but even I can remember how bad Portsmouth were. A that point it felt like a relegation fodder type loss. |

Kolli is far more suited as a player to Smyth than Celar though - only seen it once but at the time I thought he'd overhit it a touch, again.
But Kolli had the aerial ability to stretch for it and turn it back into danger - which is exactly what Smyth needs. Those two together could actually work. |

Ok but, first half of that second half at least, we weren't playing on the break - we had them penned in like a half court press and Varane was monstering every attempt they made to try to get out.
Changed a bit later on granted, and passing accuracy needs to improve. |

Really was. If he'd taken just a touch off it. He's getting used to the physical stuff too it seems.
On those stats Bri, isn't the possession pretty similar to Saturday? Am guessing.
No idea if this is tracked, but I'd love to see how much of our loss of % possession is down to the big decrease in passing back and forth among our defenders.
I'd speculate it's most of it. Definitely going more direct, with less emphasis on that 'sucking them in and springing the trap' lark which sadly only seems to work less than a third of the time for us. |

I only saw the last 5 mins of the first half (thankfully) and the second half, but I actually thought we were excellent in that second half.
Getting the ball back quicker than we have done for a while, attacking and defending in numbers, a decent mix of flair and toughness. And that move from Saito when he picked it up, moved forward, took 3 players out with one jink before shooting - that's what you want to pay to see.
Last 15 mins was not really an issue, in fact we were a lot closer to their goal near the end.
No idea what they must have been trying to do in the first half, but they didn't concede and were able to make meaningful adjustments. Found that very encouraging to be honest. |
