Injured or dropped?

Who will play full back ?

Hampshire or BJB?

Although I think Hampshire is the better full back CC. may be tempted to play BJB there so he can keep. M C B on the wing as he doesn't deserve to be dropped.

Been discussed on the other thread but just not selected.

Sorry. Didn't realise it was already on the Finn thread

I'd like to give Hampshire a go at full back or even Miller who has performed well there before for us.

I remember when BJB first signed for us he played a few games at full back and from what I remember it didn't go very well.

I understand what you are saying about some of the other squad members playing FB but, IF Jowit had been dropped and is not injured, you would have to worry for his future at the club.
With Grix out, Jowitt looked set for a decent run of games and whoever we put there today, presumably Hampshire, looks to have pushed the lad even further down the pecking order, which doesn't bode well for his future at Trinity.

when the coach starts fitting square pegs into round holes ,then i think (hope not) Maxs time is up . after all somebody will have to go to pay for Finns contract extension.Also its a kick in the teeth for the 1873 scheme.Chester as taken the kid backwards and he wont be the last

Matter of opinion but for my opinion I have not seen much from Max to warrant a place nothing to do with 1873. Players develop at different rates some kick on some don't at the moment for me Max is in the lattter

Although you may be right, it's hard for ANY player to come in and play an odd game here and there, which is what Jowitt has had since Grix arrived.

Do not tell me they have given Finn a new contract i .He is the reason i am not at magic weekend. Would have gone if he had not been in squad .If he can play like he did last week and still be in the squad i give up.Q how do fans say MAX is slow at linking up when the ball is not getting any way close to the wings. The only time i miss a match home and away on TV or not is holls

Have to agree .Jowitt looked the part when he broke into the first team and showed he had what it takes at that time. His confidence must be shot just playing the odd game here and there.

Chester to kick the guts out of Johnstone and Batchelor next?

You’d think when our halves are lacking confidence and not playing well that playing Jowitt would be the correct thing to as he adds and extra ball handler to our team.

McNally with Mark Field.
Agar refusing to play Andy Ellis.

I'm sure there are many more examples where coaches refused to change tack even though their jobs were on the line.

Are you seriously suggesting that Chester would simply refuse to play Jowitt? He has picked Grix because he thought he was currently the better fullback. He played RH there because he obviously thought he was the better option? He is the coach, he sees them train everyday. If he was the best option to play there, then why on earth would he not play him there?

No conspiracy theories here, its quite simple. Jowitt is not the best fullback at the club, even without Grix.

That's all great I suppose when everything's rosy in the garden.....but that's the point, we've lost 9 out of the last 11, obviously some very narrow defeats in there, but you can't argue with stone wall facts! What is a coaches job? To bring on young talent and improve them, or to get the first team to perform and win more than they lose? Both in an ideal world obviously. He's tried so many differing combinations now, and it's just not working is it, you can argue till the cows come home who should be playing in certain positions. Grix was first choice, we've won and lost with him at fullback, he gets injured, he has to be replaced by someone. Jowitt's natural position is full back, therefore he should get a fair crack? Has he had that? Not sure, how can you judge someone on a couple of games here and there? This is Chesters' dilemma now of basically a long losing run, he seemingly won't pick the same team injuries permitting, he feels 'forced' into making changes in the hope something sticks, and our fortune turns around.

Looking back, those narrow defeats against better opposition were opportunities, missed opportunities to get wins on the board, he fell into the trap, as did most fans, that the 'winnable' run of fixtures would see us do exactly that, but sport doesn't work like that does it?!! There's just been something lacking, missing this season, a killer instinct, an individual to take the game by the scruff of the neck and turn those narrow losses into wins? We are becoming very infuriating to watch, there's definitely more in those players than they are currently giving, hopefully we can start to perform to a higher standard, 'cause unless we want to be dragged into a dogfight of survival, I think we are gonna have to.
