At school they had an 'Effort' trophy for those less talented at sport but very enthusiastic, but I am not sure any of this team would qualify as 'very enthusiastic'.
Must be a TLR secret tactic that we don't know about because he is so clever like intentionally walking players on 1-2 count, everyone else thinks that is stupid but TLR knows better!
If this is just a big tease then they are doing a good job of it!
Maybe these players just needed a bit of pressure and a rapidly approaching season end to finally concentrate minds, and all this without TA.
