Hard to fathom the 'bagging' of the OC Coach coming out of Saturday's loss to League leader Rupertswood whose form is fantastic at the moment.
Primairily the 'bagging' has centered around Cross and Heffernan.Without going into details as to 'why' ,Cross played Half back flank for the entire first half.About ten miutes into the third quarter he was placed on ball.Inthe final term he played on a wing.
Hardly a disaster from a coaching point of view.His first half was good and his on ball contribution was also ok,however there were further issues concerned with his on ball performance that will be addressed with Cross,not with this forum.Cross is a wonderful addition to our club,but is a first year senior player, and as such ,has 'stuff' to learn.
The decision to play Heffernan at Fullback was a no brainer.Again without elaborating,those who actually know our list and list of options due to unavailabilities,would have agreed that we had few ,if any, other options.
Despite having a few kicked on him Heffernan performed very well,as he has done in defensive roles over the past decade.
It is all to easy to 'have a go at the Coach' when a team is down,very few accolades when they win.
Our list is stronger and deeper than before ,however like all sides,we need our topliners on the park to perform up to the lofty expectations that have been placed on us.
I'm certain OC will bounce back to top form soon,and as Kingbrown so wisely suggests ,the season is only approching its halfway mark.
Please use your brains fellas and reserve judgement until we get to the business end.
