It's not that they lack the skill it's more that skills and decision making go to pieces when they are rushed to perform these tasks under match conditions.
Greater support and more pressure from our side and we might find that players with a little more time can execute more effectively....there will always be a couple who don't and these are the ones we need to replace sooner rather than later.
I remember Andrew Walker saying exactly the same a couple of seasons back.
Those 1%ers really make a difference : blocks, shepherds etc., all have the potential to buy the ball carrier an extra second or two, which can help significantly. As do running patterns, leading patterns, separation from your opponent etc. all give the ball carrier time and choice to execute better.
