I really don't think it is in this case. This isn't a player that's had a bad run for 5/6 games, he's not looked at the races all year long. Being dropped for Cas away and subbed at Magic weekend suggests McDermott is aware of this but given our problems filling the left centre position and Golding missing several games through injury and Handley not looking an any better choice then think that's why he's kept picking him.
Now having Keinhorst and Golding back and Sutcliffe possible then it provide more chances to take Briscoe out of the firing line.
One scenario is that if you continue to play him he might come good in time, but another scenario is that he continues to struggle and makes error after error and costs us a playoff spot or a home playoff spot or the playoff game itself and then he could never recover from that.
If he does get picked this week though I do hope the crowd get right behind him, even sing his name when the team comes out for the warmup to show we support him and not get on his case too badly because that's not going to help him.
