Re: 70% possession vs 30% possession
RonzI belive the completed passes was in the 80% rannge, trouble is if the 20% is your final ball then that's not so good.
Final balls haven't been great but I think a lot of that goes with a side till trying to gel. As the empathy developes player instinctively know how and where others will be. We are a bit telegraphed still.
Bottom line is I'd have took 10 points from 4 at the start.
Thing is with final balls, they look great when somebody gets on the end of them. I think our issues in attack currently are two fold: 1. Players taking too long to seek out the pass and deliver, and that is as a result of 2. Players not making clever enough runs.
The last part of the equation is probably the last thing to come with a new set of players learning a new style because it's about knowing each other's rhythms/runs and understanding what our shape does to the opposition; where the holes are.
We've only just finalised the squad and still have to find our best 11. Once we've established that we'll be golden.
