Subject: Plymouth v Moseley Author: Phil Hall [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: "Sat, Mar 12 2011, 11:52:32 GMT" Another dissapointment and another £50.00 down the pan. Moseley had 75% of the possesion and 75% of the territory and failed to win - again. The pitch and playing conditions were perfect but Moseley, for some unknown reason continue to make more effort to lose the game rather than to win it. And the penalty count against us was another factor - yet again. And the inability to convert try line forward pressure into tries was another factor - yet again. And the first up tackle was another factor - yet again. The dropped ball and knock on factor was not too bad last night. And Moselet should have had a penalty try for a deliberate knock on when attacking down the slope the second half, But the first try that plymouth got was the gift of the night. Long throw on our 25 to the back of the line collected by plymouth No 9, a little shimmy, not a finger on him and he was under the posts. Moseley have a team packed with good, very good players yet for some obscure reason they nahve great difficulty consistently playing as a team. More often than not they appear to be individuals doing their own thing. Patently obvious is the lack of support when someone makes a break. Plymouth did it all night - a player made a break and immediately he had options iether side of him. Moseley, by contrast, didn't were frequently isolated and had to go to ground. And plymouth stole a least 3 balls in the tackle - and not only stole them but went into an immediate and expansive attack mode. I have only seen Moseley play as a "team" once in the whole season and that was the home game against Bees. Where do Moseley go from here - I do not know but as of last night they stand a better chance of going than of staying up. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

For the first 20 mins albion hardly had any ball but we were unable to break their defence. We the conceded a very poor try from a line out and gave away a silly penalty to fall 10 points behind. However, the 20 points winning margin rather flattered Albion. Result apart, it was a great game of rugby and all is not lost. Heads up lads, let's bag us three home bonus points wins.

[> [> Subject: Plymouth v Moseley Author: Phil Hall [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Sat, Mar 12 2011, 19:47:32 GMT" I agree with west country Mose that the Plymouth game was a good entertaining game to watch - even though we lost. I was concerned that the game didn't change realy untill msrs Taylor, Davies and Bishop came on. Up till then Rea was forver receiving hospital passes and de la harpes passing left something to be desired. I know he needs to learn but his passes are more often than not high, low wide, short or long whereas Taylor has a much quicker, reliable and more accurate "ball in the belly" pass. It is a diservice to his skills that he does have a panchent to dawdle at times but, by contrast, he can play a very quick passing game if he puts his mind to it. And where the forwards go with their problem crossing the line from short I do not know. Armitage had a superb game, but he was often unsupported and his many forages over the gain line came to naught. But well done Bev. I am dissapointed we got nowt but I will be at the Bees match. Who will win? You tell me!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Optimist Author: Moseley Exile [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Sat, Mar 12 2011, 22:09:08 GMT" Going away to Plymouth and Esher were always going to be the tough games. I think points from these would be considered as a bonus. It’s the other 4 we should be hoping to get points from – the 3 at home and Bees away - and if we do it should be enough to stay up. From the reports posted and the commentary on the radio the score flatters Plymouth and there were positives that we can take from this. The team competed and created chances they just didn’t take. The selection had some surprises which I assume were an attempt to play to a different style to that expected by Plymouth. With Taylor, Davies and either Bress or Bishay coming back I think we should have some optimism for the next 2 home games. Two wins from these would do the confidence no end of good…..for all of us!
