Re: Vibram Shoes?

I’ve had a couple of pairs and I have a bit of a love hate thing with them. Running I felt like they didn’t offer enough protection and I could feel every pebble I ran over. Walking ver comfy. Hard to put on wet feet and difficult to get the sizing right. Overall I’d rate them 7/10

Re: Teams faced so far

I do wonder whether we might be better away from home. We do have pace and are dangerous on the break. We need to get better at defending full stop and part of that is not getting caught in possession or coughing the ball up in dangerous positions.

The whole balance of the game changed when JBG went off. Coupled with the odd sub and we were on the back foot Tresor was our worst player when he came on.

Not sure we NEED a striker. Foster has set off well. We have numerous other attacking players who play or can play as a 10. J Rod probably only going to get a handful of starts as it is. LB is a different matter. Not a single player and back up options look poor. (Assuming VK thinks Charlie can’t ad...
