Yeah but, yeah but, yeah but Ooze is supposed to have this all done in 6 months!!!I have stayed away because I knew what this site would be like but my take on last night is slightly different. Note, I was there watching live.
I can’t question commitment, our players chased hard for most of the game. I noticed a lot of gut running to close down space to put on as much pressure as possible. Early in the game we were well in it but they were clean and we weren’t, that was the only difference.
The hawks were very impressive. Their delivery by foot, and there linking when running was first class, ours wasn’t. We had a lot of nearly moments but we are not instinctive. They have a lot of players who have been there in their rebuild but create that instinctive play making, we don’t.
So many times they hit targets that were hard to hit and we need to find players who can do the same.
I just didn’t see the softness and lack of effort some saw. Live at the ground I saw everyone busting a gut but chasing tail and playing against a team that is now very well drilled and pretty highly skilled.
