Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3140758, member: 8988"] The only problem with that is I don't think it matters which halves are in whilst we have no strategy. An experience one might change things but our current halves are the most experienced we have. There really isn't any short term solution for mine. Who ever lines up as a team needs a simple game to execute, an expectation to perform at a standard and a list of things to work on, with the assistance provided to do so. We are not holding onto the ball. Last night was the exception to the prove the rule that possession is 9/10ths the game of 6 again football. In the past rounds we lacked possession but this game we dominated the early stages, then self-destructed. How do you explain that? Lack of concentration, fitness, over-enthusiasm at finally getting something right, only to play reckless? I can't answer that as I only listened, but we had that game and threw it away. There were some positives, despite the overall negative result, but not enough to think some serious soul searching is required. Seeing Haas seemingly tear strips off our captain after that pathetic try, makes me worry there is a serious cancer at the heart of this club that will need some wholesale changes in almost everything that involves putting 80 minutes of success on the field. Frankly, it's obvious there is neither the will, courage, or even the desire to do so, and our leaders are bereft of the esteem from those that should look up to them to drive it. It started when Bennet was here, with big payouts for under performing but potential superstars that came at the expense of honest butb dependable toilers. It continued with the underhanded tactics involved in the Bennet sacking. It has filtered down to the player level where performance is an ignored decider to selection versus selected highlights on the match replay. We have lost the ability recognise dependence as a worthy attribute, comeraderie in the face of adversity, and persistence to the drive to succeed. All our players possess some of these aspects but none so thoroughly, as to drive success. They are not so lost that that they must be abandoned, only the right mentor is required to rekindle it. If only we had a Don Furner type mentor to help our young coach, the situation might be retrievable but sadly that's not to be. [/QUOTE]
