Recent games against Boro and Blackburn have highlighted the gulf in basic skills of passing and ball control
A poor pass leads to poor control, which leads to a poor pass and goes on and on
As the ball runs loose from lack of control the player will lunge to recover the ball
This usually leads to a foul awarded and it being a Blackpool player can lead to a booking
That lunge is also one of the biggest causes of Hamstring injuries
We also tend to be static and react rather than anticipate
This means players are quickly out of position and in order to recover try to go from standing to max as quick as possible
Another sure way to get that Hamstring injury or commit a foul
Of course I may be talking rubbish
I would also say I may criticise the skill level but not the commitment of the players
