Don't know what you are going on about? I was saying that we don't have any senior players outside the starting 17 and the gaffer seems reluctant to give the likes of Eastmond, Wheeler and co a starting spot in anything other than isolation, with months often between Eastmond's games

Eastmond's been injured for most of this season so far and getting his fitness up, so I don't think you can call MP on that. He's only had 3 months on the job, and in that time Eastmond's been recovering from a shoulder op, a hamstring strain and tonsilitus. Not the lad's fault obviously but neither is it the coach's.

I disagree, thought he reffed the Saints Leeds game last season superbly, under all kinds of pressure.

It's Saints game to lose, but then most games are.

Against Cas we were good in attack against a poor side. We were still shocking defensively at times.

So poor in fact the scoreboard read nil at half time.

4 points clear with a ' pathetic weak squad'. You couldn't make this $h1te up !!

The first choice 17 is superb. There isn't a single senior player beyond that though. Every injury we suffer weakens us more than it would some other teams in SL. It's a different approach and we'll be able to tell come October if it was a good one.

We havent had a full strength team all season. So whats your point ?

We have a fantastic 17 but a week squad ? Whats your point ? How do you back that up ? What is our strongesat 17 ?

Are you being serious or am i missing the joke?

Surely if you are serious your going abit overboard. The squad may not be the biggest and the back up the most experienced but this is superleague and it'll easily be enough to get you through to another league leaders shield..

Our Saddened will probably say he is a realist, but since despondent dave no longer lives up to his moniker, owd Saddened is our 'glass half empty' doom and gloom merchant.
Surely you have similar on the Goon board?
