Last year the players played well in patches, This year with the increased fitness levels they are able to perform at a high level for longer so a coach who is more fitness orientated is going to come up trumps everytime. We saw last year that the ability was there in short bursts but to see it for the full 80 is excellent. Also a coach who is not scared to drop players regardless of who they are on performace is a coach you want to keep. With everyone fit and pulling their weight the players like Sam don't have to do as much defensively so are able to shine with the ball in hand.

I have on individual posts where I felt it merited, but some of the criticism you have faced is totally uncalled for. In the last few years of reading your posts I have never seen you belittle anyone but when you blow someone's argument out of the water some people are unable to respond with anything other than insults.

Central Park's comment on Goulding's second try supports these comments.

It's going to be interesting to see if we do and what peoples reaction will be if we do. Some players may retire such as Bailey and Coley so there won't be any controversy there but we have other players off contract who aren't at the end of their careers who the coach may think he can do better by replacing and some of these could be crowd favourites.

If Maguire is ruthless we could well see popular players leave for players he thinks are better.

And quite right too.

Early days yet, but I suspect Feca might be one to go.

I think so to.

i get the feeling MM doesnt rate him much
