Really good that this season full matches are uploaded to You Tube. Watching the first half of the Dons game we are definitely in the arm wrestle and we’re in a few decent positions but either made errors. Play the ball error on the 5 yard line by one of our forwards or very ill advised kick through by Binks early in sets. Body language does suggest confidence a little low. They need to stick together. Some of the squad players need to find the level and more experienced players need to keep working. 

From what I could see we were completely in it at the hour mark. We didn’t have quite enough flair to get over the line and of the 5 grubbed kicks through that we made 4 were woeful so that an area to improve on or rethink. 

I've only watched the tries which were down the middle late on. Was this us running out of gas or just how the highlights made it look?


I def noticed Binks' kicking game in the games I attended but I guess how else does he learn. Would've been good to have sent him to Cornwall for a bit. 

Just not sure. Our bench is definitely not as strong as other teams. Not quite sure who is at fault. Binks is a young kid who was supposed to be nowhere near the team. As you say how else can he learn he does do quite a lot of good things but his kicking needs to be more considered.

Hard for me to comment without me bothering to watch the full replay, but if the winning tries came late and were down the middle it does suggest we ran out of steam. Our bench doesn’t seem to offer the same impact as other teams, which doesn’t help when the game opens up for the oppo in the last quarter.  Binks is clearly learning on the job as his kicking is patchy, but he’s also having to do a lot under pressure in a side that’s often on the back foot. You can see the potential but he probably would’ve benefited from a spell at a League 1 club if the set-up allowed for it. Can’t really blame the lad as it’s a tough ask in this division when you’re still finding your feet.  He can only improve though.
