That 19 just sums up Radford inability to put out a TEAM instead of a bunch of players.Abdul should be in the 17 to replace Westerman and why he still seems to think putting 3 Hookers in the 19 is a master stroke I'll never know.
Naughton has shown pace and bags of enthusiasm when he's taken the field which is more than can be said of certain players who seem untouchable.
Gentle was given the boot and had us playing argueably better rugby and at least didnt fill the 19 with players for the sake of it he actually brought in the younger players that play the positions we were light in.
Anything other than a comprehensive win is not good enough and in all honesty I can can see us just sneaking a win and only just.
I think alot of blame has been laid at Gentles door over not giving youth a chance when in fact it can be argued he put many of the young fringe players in the 17 when we had injuries & suspensions and the club have seen the benefit of this with Lineham, Shaul and Crookes before the club seemingly binned him off.
