Is it them, is it lack of time together, is it game plan, coaching?

Baffling.

Brown and Roberts.

Re: Roberts : Sun Mar 11, 2018 1:30 am  

I'm still in the Roberts canp to be fair as i know what he can do, first game he had some good touches and made a great break which led to Atkins "try to fly" touch down failure.
2nd game it was the same in some great touches and a great break..........But at the moment i don't even realise he's on the field nost of the time.
Got my fingers crossed and i'm still backing him,as we actually do have a great squad but sooooo many errors it's pretty pathetic. Get the crappy school boy errors cut out and i think we'll do some damage

Well all this talk of him playing better when the weather improves, the ground getting firmer etc, Catalan next week provides an opportunity. I'm not convinced it's anythjng other than fitness but we'll see.

Re: Roberts : Sun Mar 11, 2018 10:27 am  

Wouldn't other teams improve with better weather too?....
Everything is relative.
If that is our hope....we all doooomed.

Good weather helps a newly formed side try a few passes/moves etc. with more confidence. If there is a mis-timing of the pass then there is a higher chance of re-gathering the ball again in dryer conditions.

Also, I'm fairly certain that a recovering knee injury, in the case of Roberts, will be better supported on dryer ground and therefore, hopefully, Roberts will run with more confidence.

Remember, we were only 8-6 down at half time and well in the contest until the last quarter. I'm in the 'be patient/positive' camp and believe things will turn around soon-ish with less mistakes and easier opposition to try ouar new tactics and game-plan out.

Perhaps vented frustration helps influence change for us to be optimistic...rather than being happy clappers and condescending.

At least when Sandow first came over and struggled to make an impact, you could at least see flashes of brilliance which made you think "yeah, this guys got something about him".

Not seen anything from Roberts other than 1 break and a few pinpoint kicks... If might take a while to get the combinations going but he could at least take the line on ffs.
