I don't think with the style that we play off the half-back line requires much sheperding to be honest. Only when we start over-using the ball in the corridor and we find that the pressure is on that the sheperding of the ball becomes accountable but the backline has been creating space for each other for a long time now and so it's all a matter of getting rid of the ball before getting tackled rather than giving the player with the pill a longer period of time to dispose of it. Out with speed, pace and the right option is the way!

Yeah was gonna say. C Boltons head clash with Glass was a great one percenter. Got us the goal we needed.

Great work C Bolton! Although if he were to do it to Ebert, Bolts would most definitely come off second best.

I loved that one. I was screaming at my wife "Did you see that? Did you see that?"
She said 'no' and continued watching season 2 of Lost on the laptop.

Buy her tickets to Sex and The City Sat nite, because you wont get that.

I've noticed that our timing on the rebound is getting better too - run far enough to pull the man to the ball holder then pass to the player now in space. I saw Ted fumble and that even seemed deliberate as a player had to run free of his man on the chance that he could pick up a spilt ball then Ted passes to his man who was then free.
