Well, theres always next year

Sorry but looking at today's performance we will be battling to beat the Knights. What has happened in the last few weeks? What happened to the team that beat the Dragons? Today was a pale imitation of that team.

Where will I start? Let's look at the positive and negative points in the game.

Positive

Completion rate over 80% - that is the only positive I could find

Negative

Team playing one out
No one supporting the ball carrier
No offloading by the forwards
Kicking game poor - your behind on the scoreboard and you kick for the sidelines. No bombs and no kicks behind the defensive line to put pressure on the defence
Norman appears out of form
Defence generally poor
Goal line defence deplorable

Yesterday I saw the Dragons put Moanly to the sword. Their forwards played with purpose, running hard, offloading before the line and after with good support for the ball carrier. An attractive and effective style producing results. At the moment we are rubbish and have been since the third game we played.

Something has to change! BA, if the roster is not producing results, change the roster. Do SOMETHING different at training. A fellow viewer commented that the team looked tired. Is the team given enough time to recover before their match? BA, if nothing changes by next week don't expect a different result!

I cant argue any of that mate, the worst strike against Brad is just how poorly he uses our forwards and our halves and backs have NFI.

This isnt the players, this has all the hallmarks of very poor coaching, from defence, to attack to organisation, we look like we are coached by a park footy player.

Brad has to turn this around very quickly, there are no excuses for what we are seeing.

  I was going to say the same thing - we took the Tits lightly and we are now reaping the rewards.
  
  Think we could use those 2 pts right about now.

There's always next year the year after and the year after that I'm fuckin sick of hearing that bullshit we need to smarten up time to recruit properly and actually find a coach who's got the will to win and hate losing that's exactly what the eels footy club needs.
