ok i feel a bit sorry for andy murray... called up onto the wing 2 weeks ago, dropped to the bench last week, and now dropped from the matchday squad gor tomorrows game... and all without playing a game!? :-/
true what nige h says what does this say to players on the fringe.as i stated on the warfedale team selection which has been lost ?,why play centres on wing when we have wingers in squad.has this coach lost the plot still trying to get it right with only six games left.if you look at most of the teams doing well in league 1 they have 2nd,3rd 4th teams ext. so all their squad gets regular game time,i do not think cov can progress to championship useing the present system,as for the excuse the costs would be too high how do other teams manage,cov get good crowds and have good sponsers could it be we pay a few players too much which drains the money pot.
Tom Collins can play any backs position, but with his pace , step off either foot and kicking ability he's most likely a back three player in the future as it would be a waste not to use him returning kicks.
he's played for the Saints (i.e. the 1st team) already and is an astonishing broken field runner, best back we've had through the academy since cohen.
