I disagree strongly.
We have to manage the squad to get the best results for Trinity over the course of the season.
A few seasons ago, It was failure to rotate the squad effectively which left us with hardly any players.

We have to be capable of looking forward beyond just the next game and whilst it's not always possible to rotate the squad, we should certainly be trying.

The bigger clubs all do it, with a view to having their best 17 available at the business end of the season.
Clearly, we aren't going to feature in the GF but, having the best 17 one week, followed by the "reserves" the next week isn't going to help, especially with a 4 day turnaround and a trip to France.

like I’ve said before the team as put effort in and tried in every game but the execution as been terrible. We should be trying to win every game and improve and get some ideas to get out of it not throw games like other teams


Totally agree, but what's the root cause? It can't just be one thing, but one thing is for certain we play with zero confidence or joy in most games. Our style is stuttering and that's being kind whilst the errors to use a cliche are truly schoolboy at times.

Normally I'd agree with you, but what is our best team? Doesn't seem to matter who plays the performances seem the same. So with that in mind, he may as well pick what he thinks is the strongest team, he has little to fear as injuries will have little impact. Hand on heart the only player who makes any real difference is Miller, the other 16 are massively interchangeable IMHO.

True but I've kind of written him off now, I'm looking more at next season in a way.

The fact some of us are genuinely wanting to forfeit a game 24 - 0 shows how bad things have got!

Would improve our points difference

He's been a huge miss and he appears to be the only player that we have who is trying to organise the plays.

It's a massive problem when players turn out week after week and struggle to get a result. The team leaders can only pull the rest of the squad through when you get a favorable result every now and again.
I don't think the squad lack effort but without doubt they lack leadership and when your effort doesn't turn in to a win its only natural to question your own and other players ability.
I don't honestly see things changing without better and more targeted investment, otherwise its a slippery slope for the foreseeable future.
