It really is remarkable. Not so much that we beat the Dees, but that we are 8 and 3 and are relying on so many players with little experience.jackcass wrote:Ugly win but sometimes that's a good thing for teams to do. Remember, 11 players with under 50 games (Langdon, Witts, Grundy, Elliott, Thomas, Keeffe, Williams, Fasolo, Dwyer, Frost, Seedsman) makes this a very inexperienced team.
It helps that Frost and especially Langdon are playing like 200 game veterans. These two and many others who have contributed this season would not have been considered first teamers by many here at the start of the year. Our defense has been totally recast so often this year and yet we have, by the numbers, the third best defense in the comp.
And now that Seedsman is back and Young is hitting his straps, we're seeing some better ball movement. Some great runs by both of these and nice delivery into the forward line over the last couple of weeks. It's going to take time though before our whole team is on the same page and our ball movement across the board is where it needs to be, but it will happen, there's no doubt we have the ability. With so much player movement and so much inexperience it's not really possible for everything to be working like clockwork just yet.
Also interesting that nobody has mentioned the free kick count.
