The Doggies are tougher in the clinches, and Beveridge has benefited from better recruiting, and from the fact that his predecessor was Brendan McCartney. It's a shame about their high number of injuries - they just can't score at the moment.
But I agree - those lapses, then as now, are frustrating. How many coaches have we had since 2001, and only Ratts made a small dent in the consecutive win stat. Must be something in the water at PP.
If it helps any Bolton said on the weekend that next year we are going to focus more no on offence and ball carry now we've sorted out our defensive aspects. That will help with the ever growing number of real speedsters we have in the side and I bet the forwards will love that so much better too. Some of our players are really fast. If we take Jake Bradley F/S thaat would add to it. Has seemed to have got his old man's genetics in ghat reagrd.
