With those sort of numbers you'd think we'd be winning games with ease.....

Gee, this was from 2014 - the last 4 years have gone fast...

If we can get a consistent output from the players BAD mentioned it'll go a long way to making us one of the better midfields, particularly when you throw in Libba, McLean.

The problem is not the midfield numbers the guys are getting, its the breakdown when we go forward. At one point in the 2nd quarter on the weekend we had gone inside 50 26 times for 3 goals. The Blues had gone in 11 times for 3 goals.

Our forward set up is too static, which allows the opposition to zone effectively and chop out attacks. Majak Daw's 1st half v North the week before was a classic example. We need to fix the forward set up and the work rate of the forwards.
