[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 839477, member: 71826"] Got to agree that the goalkicking is an issue with Ford, the problem is when he is bad he is [B]really[/B] bad. I don't think it's the case that he can't ever be the primary goal kicker, just that if he is there should be a backup somewhere either in the pitch or on the bench. When he's on form (as he was for a long time until this season for Bath - and he's never had a shocker for England) he's absolutely fine, not at Farrell's level but no problem. If it all goes south, you want to be able to either hand the tee to someone else or bring Farrell or someone off the bench. Or alternatively, he works on his goalkicking (especially the mental side) until the horror days no longer happen. I thought he'd achieved that last couple of seasons until all the crap with his Dad and wanting to leave brought it back this year. Maybe it's as simple as being happy in the environment he's in? Again, he never had this issue for England when he was the primary kicker. [/QUOTE]
