Another feature for me was the amount of time Greer seemed to have to make telling forward passes that led to chances for our strikers.
This year we are better team, last year we played against weaker opposition.
I watched the DVD today as well, sometimes we were given soooo much time and space to develop our moves, that just doesn't happen in this league.
We miss Benno for definite , Murray I'm on the fence with - could score goals from nowhere (but so can CMS and Barnesy) but has hardly shone for the lot up the road this season has he?I think we do miss Murray and Benno
1 player who has not been mentioned who was superb when we were really firing before Christmas is Kish.It makes you wonder what a player he must have been 10 years earlier.Totally agree about Bennett,what a consistent performer he was.

Bennett was amazing for us last season. The amount of assists he got, it was because of him that Murray did so well I think.
Have to shamefacedly say I never really took too much notice at the time, but the DVD clearly shows that Barnes laid on a helluvalot of balls for Murray to tuck away. Desperately need somebody to strike up a similar understanding with CMS. That's not happened so far this season. OK, the quality of the opposition defences has improved, but not to the extent that it should snuff out our play in the final third of the field. The right ball threaded through to CMS will pay dividends.
Maybe if we played Barnes as an out and out striker you would see that understanding. Poor old Barnes has been seriously compromised as a forward with the defensive/midfield work he has been asked to do this season.
