I think that both faults stem in part from the same issue - our players always try to go for the spectacular block. If we just manned up and stuck up a hand, we'd be in better position to box out and we'd be better able to recover if the ball is kicked out.
Of course, the two issues listed above are just one of the reasons we're struggling. It also seems like we've just been outhustled in the previous games.
I'm hoping Roy can turn things around before the tournament starts; if he doesn't, I wouldn't be surprised to see a second round exit.
