We have often faltered under pressure, which obviously comes from the better teams, in recent times. This is clearly due to the number of options, particularly tall ones. We are shaping up as having an improving Hammer and (hopefully) a fit Waite. This releases Walker and Thornton with only the 3rd and 4th tall defender to beat. We should be able to take the grabs or, at least, bring it to ground for Eddie, Jeffy and others to crumb. This provides players up the ground with confidence, that if forced to throw it on to the boot, we can at very least make a contest. Walks had a great year in 2011, but suffered from being double teamed by taller and stronger opponents
