Have to agree with Musson on this one.
Very difficult circumstances for everyone. The impact of Covid on the game shouldn't be underestimated. It clearly limited resources even further for the club. Believed Michael Carters statement had some objectivity and realisation of the multiple challenges Chris, the team and ultimately the wider game have faced over the last two seasons.
I was saying the same thing earlier today. The impact on players is an unknown. We were talking about Tinny Arona, him being a shadow of his former self (someone referring to him blowing out of his backside etc). I've noticed that recently it takes him sometimes a couple of plays to get back into the defensive line. Could it be physical, a poster referred to long covid etc, or could it be mental/psychological. He probably hasn't seen his extended family for quite a while and will be a while in the future and he may just want to go home (in those circumstances, who could blame him?)
Pure speculation from a keyboard on my part
