Not like you to go off half-c0cked and overreact.
So you thought that analysis was over-throught? I thought it was a very simplistic example myself. Each to their own.
It reminded me of an analysis my late brother once did of basketball. It showed that in a team of five players, each player will only have the ball for around four minutes of a 40 minute game. The message was meant to be about working harder when you don't have the ball but it was lost in the maths. It's not the hitouts Gorringe may win that is important, it's how well he nullifies his opponent, blocks opposition midfielders, brings the ball to ground in marking contests, makes a contest and, as he did so well on Sunday, uses his run and anticipation to create scoring opportunities.
Like many of our players, he's a work in progress and I have a feeling that he will develop into a similar player to Blicavs; almost impossible to match up - unless you're Patrick Cripps
