Our problem - Stopping small forwards

[clad idiout]

One of our big problems is stopping small forwards. It has been a problem since Sanderson stating getting older and past it. Leon Davis Saturday night and Aaron davey the other wekk are clear examples that small fowads kill us. Hunt, D.Johnson, Slade just dont cut the bill when it comes to stopping them. Wojenski i dont think either. i rate hunt monica and davie johnson but they can not negate a small forward like a Jarrod Crouch Stephen Baker or Chris Newman can.

This isn't a bad point at all, actually. A few forwards have dominated us in recent times....

I recall Jeff Farmer and Alan Didak doing similar things last year....

Nick Davis...even (Yes, I know he isn't small but he is still a crumbing forward).

Nah it's our midfield that sucks. There is was too much good delivery into the forward line, our boys cannot keep up and are always chasing tails.

The defenders are left to try and stop the onslaught of inside 50s and with little pressure on the deliverer means the accuracy is far greater than a forced bomb.

Sure Hunt, D.Johnson, etc aren't doing a great job, drift off their man at times, but they are not helped at all by the midfield.
