Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2750043, member: 1847"] Am I wrong in recalling that Gillett was roundly criticised for not running good lines, didn't know when to inject himself yet now, he is being praised - and rightly so, for running good lines, and injecting himself so to speak, and defending to the point where our right hand side is virtually leak proof more or less. I would venture to say most of that is because he and Hunt are now working together and communicating, they have deliberately worked on their combination, and that obviously, Bennett has had a lot to do with that, and with Gillett's defence. I am not trying to excuse legit criticism of Roberts, just saying that often, a player's performance has as much to do with the development of combinations/communication with play makers, and the coaching he/they get, as it is with personal attitudes. I still don't think there is enough of a serious combination developed with Roberts although Milf has done some nice things across the right hand side with Roberts although not nearly enough yet. At the same time, our whole team, especially with Roberts, is still very much a work in progress. I just certainly hope that Roberts isn't a victim of his own, or the media's hype ... meaning, he's not up himself to the point the team is suffering. [/QUOTE]
