Ask yourself which players are playing anywhere near their best.
Answer: probably only Weller and Blakely. Every one else can and has played better.
Bond may be responsible for lots of things including some recruiting errors but this performance today is pure and simply poor coaching.
No run, no fun, no flair, no confidence, no instinct, no energy, no gameplan, multiple free kicks against, 50 m penalties, total confusion. Thats coaching department.
Why are the new guys, the ones still playing on instinct and with a bit of flair and the older guys looking like they are ready for retirement?
