Observations from the couch.
First of all, I would like to wish Osmajic and Potts a full and speedy recovery.
Yesterday, was 3 great points especially under the circumstances of losing 2 players to injury in the first 20 minutes. A special mention to the travelling fans who were magnificent as they have been all season. To take over 1,000 all that way is a terrific effort, and thankfully they’ve all come back safe and sound and very happy. A win and a good performance works wonders for us fans and it puts us in a great frame of mind for the rest of the weekend.
It appears that Ledson and Brady played really well. I’ve been critical of Brady, but credit where credit is due, well played and please keep it up. Ledson was given extra responsibility yesterday, and maybe that brought about the change. He always gives 💯 % effort, but maybe with not being a regular starter, he tries too hard which makes him a bit over exuberant at times. I would like to make a special mention for Liam Lindsay who has been walking a tightrope now for several games, knowing that he is close to a 2 match ban. He has shown great discipline whilst not allowing his standards to drop.
Finally, a big well done to the Manager. I was one of many, that thought he was out of his depth, but he is still learning the job and a long way from being perfect. I just want to see him improving, and at the moment that looks to be the case. Ultimately, it was that long bad run on the lead up to Christmas that has cost us dearly. My main criticism during that time was that RL was stubborn and unwilling to change. I can get over those frustrations, if RL can continue to learn from those mistakes, and never to go back to that style of play again. It’s also nice to see that we still have designs on chasing the playoffs, and not allowing the season to drift away like we have in recent seasons.
