It's a bit of a post Spurs game deja vu.
Last time we did the obvious, picked the same team and we were poor, and Robins said he shouldn't have. (Mind you one more days rest).
The important thing is the players must get into the habit of working hard as a team, with a good team press, tackling...
Kitching had a couple of bad ones and a couple of terrible ones. If they'd have scored it would have been a different game and he'd have been slaughtered.
He's had a bit of luck and should get a few games now. Needs to cut that out and any loss of composure. Because it's been a recurrent...
The best thing is that it was a real team performance.
Hard work, pressing, tackling back and a hint of aggression throughout the team.
Maybe we now lack a few high quality players. This is how you make up for it.
Really good team performance. Good press, BTA and EMC worked really hard. Wright showed glimpses of his quality and tackled back.
Midfield did well, Sheaf and Eccles both did a job on them and showed grit.
Kitching the weakest link tonight.
Onwards and upwards.
Back 4 need to calm down. We're playing at a much better tempo but they need to keep some basic composure.
Robins needs to keep an eye on players getting knackered. And not sub too late.
Tonight will be largely about bravery. Some of the players look scared as hell. Scared to do anything other than pass back, scared to take anyone on or make themselves available for a pass.
Let's see what they're made of.
