The back-passing to Ben was a part of Jim’s game plan and has continued under Simon Rusk. Jim spent a part of most games shouting at Ben for launching the ball into touch. Watch Ben before the game putting the ball on a sixpence in the goalie warm up, then when the game starts it all goes out of the window. I also still have nightmares every time the ball is passed back to Ben with the goal gaping behind him for reasons which have been discussed many times on here. Overall Ben is a good keeper at this level. He might have done better with their goal today though.
