No experience in coaching whatsoever, but it seems relatively simple to me, a distinct lack of fitness, in the first half whilst fresh I couldn't see us getting beaten. Also our sliding/scrambling defence is absolutely appalling, kick chase is non existent, all these things (fitness aside) can and should be remedied by the coach.

And dropping players who are out of form and using those who have been left out twiddling their thumbs.

The Sammut thing is baffling but it also seems that the much mentioned all for one spirit that has bailed us out in the past seems non-existant right now. I wonder if our super coaches admittance that he has been trying to offload some of their mates has killed the spirit between coach and players stone dead.

Got a tweet from him on Saturday saying he would love to be out the field with the lads on Sunday. It's a crying shame he has been left out all these weeks. I know one man wouldn't have made a difference but it is symptomatic of this season's decisions by our coach.

Whether it is the reason he isn't picked i don't know but he is on a graded contract based on appearances i believe, so the more we play him the more he earns. So it could be political reasons from the club and/or coach.

Given our defensive ineptitude, the last thing we need is an off-the-cuff headcase like Sammut; he'd drag us even further out of whatever shape we're pretending to have.

There's plenty wrong at the moment, but I think the plight of Sammut is a secondary concern - he's an oddly shaped peg that no SL club appears to have a hole for.
