I have just logged on and seen the score
Quite right Al.

What we've got is what we've got. Apart from Davey we had every man standing play in that game last week - and they ALL contributed to a poor performance. There were several who tried really hard but nothing came off, there were some who, on reflection, may well think they could have put more in; pretty much all of them seemed low in energy levels, which may be something to do with the training regime etc... who knows.

What we do know is that, with the exception of a couple or so forced changes, the same players will take the field on Friday. I boo'd them on Saturday - as I thought their performance was unprofessional and lacked respect for the paying public, and because we know they can play so much better. But it will be business as usual this week and I expect them to do everything they can to put right the wrongs - although I'm not sure we can do all that in one week.

Players shouldn't get picked for that reason though, not if they are unfit/out-of-form/whatever is up with him.

and equally players shouldn't be dropped when they have outstanding service and then have one bad game.

Too true PT.

Loyalty and respect have to work both ways even if some like to quote it "when it suits"

Not slagging JD cos I like him a lot, but his form has been tepid all season (i know its only 5 games old ) But I just think he needs a rest, and his form will return....

Trouble is for JK, he has nobody to replace him with unless he fetch's young Trout into the second row and plays Tesco/Hendo/Latu at loose? People should remember also that for a reasonable chunk of Saturday's game JD was being played as 'a running 6' after BJ went off, which is not his natural position by any stretch......and possibly affected his defensive positioning at times
