Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3177311, member: 1847"] I also did a similar deep dive as you and ended up with a headache from hitting the bottom of that shallow pond. Yes, Milford's drop in form was alarming and Croft did outplay him in the way you described. I enjoyed watching Lodge's runs - full of energy and he did run hard from the back fence. Didn't realise exactly how good he was, and how we miss a fully fit Lodge in that middle. The obsession with the middle seemed like a default because nothing was happening out wide. There was no defence on which to build any consistent attack. The coaching was really starting to show it's alarming inadequacies. We just didn't compete although that has been improving a lot and I feel the signs for next season are good with a decent coach. I liked what I saw of Staggs last night at 5/8. Clever kicking. He should be there next week. Croft's confidence is too low to have him back for this important game but I suspect he will be picked. Your point about the loss of attacking options without a FB fully involved in the middle behind the ruck is also telling. A season to forget except for the multiple lessons that have to be learned. Those big losses were truly embarrassing and disheartening. [/QUOTE]
