Player Partnerships

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Since CW sensibly decided to revert to a back four and play two up front , some very promising partnerships have evolved which were clearly evident today and give hope for the future .

The most notable was that of Tanganga and Ben Mee both of whom I thought to be outstanding . When they were asked before this change to act in wider positions , both were clearly uncomfortable resulting in them having sub standard performances but as a central pairing today they both looked class acts and rock solid .

The latest line up has also allowed Seriki and Brooks to form a partnership down the right which at times caused them serious problems .

Peck and Reinewald were also a great success , offering great support to the back four but also being involved in attacking play and both making a significant contribution to two of our goals .

As for Campbell’s performance when part of a front two rather than that of a lone striker which he is clearly not cut out for , I will let that speak for itself .

100% agree. Hopefully if Gus is back on the left (at the risk of who though?) it'll give McCallum more opportunities to get forward.

That's the dilemma - playing Gus and Ohare will come at the expense of a front 2 which is actually working

It certainly looked good in all areas and worth persevering with. The players looked comfortable with the line up, their roles in it and the game plan.

But given the dubious quality of the opposition it's not yet a done deal.
