I'm not panicking. We got the shot in the arm a new coach brings and got the benefits twice because we went with a care taker and then a newbie.
We have simply come back to earth again with a bit of a thud.
Slow ball movement isn't our issue.
The inability to hit targets (just like the last few years) hurts us more.
A couple of times we moved the ball end to end with a series of good passes only to resort to a kick to a two on three contest inside forward fifty.
It's a bit pedestrian, but it's the issue of not playing enough true forwards.
The second half drop off isn't a desire or ability or fitness issue. it's a side who is worn down by working hard for little rewards inside fifty. A side that doesn't believe it can win. Probably because we miss the few easy chances to kick goals and then concede multiple goals in a row.
