Hi Broonie,

My Otago spies tell me that Dunedin Tech lumped the ball long all day, is this the style for any side with Technical in their name??

On Sunday, CTech played a very direct style - mind you they are very good at it and the striker up top was outstanding.

DTech didnt have much of the ball but their wingers got in behind the fullbacks and certainly didnt lump the ball long all day, especially not to the same extent that CTech did.

While there is a tendency to play direct football on Dunedin pitches - where the centre circle often resembles a tough mudder course - I think it is a but harsh to state that every team whose strength is not the midfield "lumps the ball long all day".

Mind you, if an ""All White"" is playing in midfield, you'd expect a less direct style...
