Bu there you go, they are doing stuff that is highly rated internally but not seen as "sexy" by people like me.I wouldn't punish yourself, it's not seen at all by many especially those watch TV because 95% of that stuff happens before the camera pans to the players.
Worse still a lot of the media special comments people like King only show the negatives when they want to justify their existence by sledging someone like Owies or Durdin as "not good enough!"
I don't go the Docklands, but at "The G" this season the deep running of Durdin, Owies, LoB and Setterfield has been a feature most won't even notice! It's having a massive positive impact and a major reason why the midfield and KPP's are in a better place than in previous years. Plus guys like Doc and Saad know players have their back if it gets turned over, more than once I've seen Owies or LoB get back and cover Doc or Saad's opponent when they are caught out up the field.
