My impression was that last nights effort was a very 'individual' one.
Not a lot of 'team' in that performance.
Not much system or structure.
That's a symptom of an 'unsettled' side that hasn't really had a lot of time of many players playing together.
Now every side gets injuries and seasons can get disrupted by them.
But a 'rebuild' is a different dynamic.
Because each season you get a turnover and influx of new players that need to gel.
If they did one of those 'sociogram type' surveys... (Not who you enjoy playing with but...How many games has player A played in the same side as player X,Y and Z ).... it would be all over the shop.
It's especially so in our forward half.
Port on the other hand played like a settled side, they just seemed to know where to put the ball to find a team-mate.
Not that they were great...they were pretty ordinary, and seemed to do just what they needed to do to get the job done.
Anyway we move on.
Stocker's earned a game.
McGovern seemed a lot more comfortable down back so if he continues to get game time give him some extended time down there.
