All 3 of them have shown a nice offload but get precisely zero help. Lilley tries his heart out and often gets his nose through the line but there's nobody, running near him. On the occasions Doyle jumps out of dummy half he shimmies and dummies but again no runners so defenders have no decision to make. It's utterly hopeless.
Indeed. They don't play as a team. With the pitch being the disgrace it is the players need support runners more than ever to create space and keep defenders off the ball carrier - this is basic stuff. It's no wonder the PTB is so slow on a small pitch anyway but we don't help ourselves.
