Quote General Zod.="General Zod."IMO the route problem is the team's lack of patience - they feel like they need to score on every set regardless of the scoreline.
A lot of Bradford's breaks came from errors from our own possession when we were trying to be too fancy when a turn over near the opposition's line would suffice.
The team showed the can be quite devastating when they have their game in order but they need to show more patience and better game-management which is maybe an area of our game where we miss Blake Green.'"
I agree. I said at the time, we came out blazing and got too cocky. We need to learn when to calm down and just keep the pressure on. I have just watched it back on Sky, and when we were good, we looked very dangerous. At the end of the day, there is no excuse for squandering the lead we had, but we have to give some credit to Bradford, they kept coming for us, when we thought we had the game won. After watching them grow in confidence on Sky the last few weeks, I knew they would be no easy beats; and so I did not get confident with our blistering start, it was the opposite, it worried me. IMO its the last twenty minutes of games that we need to work on, we need to learn to not lose focus and tough it out. I don't agree with some who say we haven't improved under Sandercock, I think we have, after all, he isn't the one out there losing concentration and making mistakes! When we are playing with focus, you can see the differences he has made.
