We were so generous to the mudpies last night (or was that just inept?).
Our players generally played in such a soft defensive zone that the nearly total absence of up-field pressure allowed the opposition to deliver such advantageous foot passes that the defenders were simply not competitive. This 'plan' relies entirely on waiting for the opposition to make a skill error - instead of trying to force such an error.
Going forward, kicking long to a tall target rarely works when the forwards are outnumbered and kicking forward above the head of a small target is even less useful.
We struggle when the opposing teams play the one or two tall forwards and have 4-5 smaller forward types....Tigers, GC, Pies all had the same setup same game plan, same result, same lack of nous from Bolton trying to match players up.....Zone D wont work vs a forward line based around movement/running forwards.
