Our footskills (or lack thereof)

This is not a new topic but McGough, Holland and O'Bree in particular seem not to be able to kick a low trajectory ball. Its always these bloody 'chip' style kicks even when there is no pressure on. This was one of the glaring differences between the two sides yesterday, casing the recipient of the pass to have to sit under it and wait.

They found it difficult to adapt to kicking in the wet. They were not alone, some players adjust quicker than others.

I reckon Holland does it regardless of the weather

When the teams running hot, you don't notice it as bad, when we are getting pumped it stands out.

Has anyone else noticed that Clement takes a long time to kick a ball and get smothered regularly? I think it may be because there have been no kicking options up forward. But it happens too regularly for my liking.

No confidence kicking to certain contests, hangs on looking for a better option.

McGough is getting better - noi doubt about that.

O'Bree just chipps it over the tip asnd gives players no end of trouble under hospital balls.

Holland isn't as bad but not great.

I can't belevie no-one remebers Rhyce Shaws kicking! Shocked
