By which time the game was lost ... makes you wonder doesn't it?
What is the point in keeping quality back if during the meantime the game is effectively lost?
You put your best players on first ... simples.
But you and I know nothing ... no doubt someone will come forward to attest to that.
If we've not played the game itself that means we know nowt.
We do however have eyes and brains.

Still we mustn't point out what anyone can see must we, it upsets folk.

Agree that Kes is a player that can turn a game, and should start unless he's not fit enough for 80mins, but as for playing him at 6/7 i can't see because imo he's too much of an individual player to play there.
He's in his best position as it gives him more ball time from acting half where he can show that his line speed is good, causing opposition defences to be scrambling.
