Sydney's Jude Bolton says the club can turn around its dismal form of the last few weeks, despite opposition teams apparently working out the side?s successful game plan from last season.
?Our run from half-back has been stifled a little bit and that has caused us to not give our forwards enough opportunity but if we can generate a bit more possession rate through the midfield then we will be right,? Bolton said.
Last year?s third in the best-and-fairest believes Sydney can win their next three (home) matches against Hawthorn on Sunday then Western Bulldogs and St. Kilda.
?Our ability to create a contest (has been missing lately) and just our work rate hasn?t been fantastic and we have just been playing really patchy football.
?I think there has been a little bit of a drop in confidence (among the players) and I suppose that does come with losing four games. We are results based and you come under a lot more scrutiny when you are not winning games.
?(But) we have dissected the (West Coast) game and gone through it.
?We have gone through every piece and analyzed each other I suppose a bit more and it comes down to the individual as well and the way we can contribute to the games.?
