It’s not Mellon’s style to create loads of chances, is it?
His philosophy seems to be more that every individual player just needs to win their own 1v1 battles against their direct opponent, then the chances will eventually come, possibly at random times. Attritional play. I don’t necessarily mind that, so long as it doesn’t descend into hoofball up-and-unders.

Anyway, ever the optimist, I’m now looking forward to a glut of 5-1 wins, with Fondop scoring a hat-trick, including a worldly. Quigley playing the Nuttall role as decoy.

Unfortunately we might find most L2 opponents have rather more about them than Dorking. So it’s more likely a case of grinding out a series of 0-0s and 1-0s. We can but dream.
