Everyone is fighting a battle at the moment.
Some of the players will be carrying knocks that are affecting their games.
Some will be regularly changing position and/or combination partners each game.
Others will be playing out of position
And some will be trying to cover for other players who are caught out of position, or slow out of the blocks because of their knocks.
It has a huge effect on the team, and so far this season we're probably about as low as we can go, but we're still battling away.
The end of the year is approaching, some players are due back from injuries in weeks now rather than months and a few more are approaching that change too.
Could there be a customary (of old) late surge in the league with returning players both eager and rested ready for the run in?
I hope so
