How many times do we hear “we need two players for every position “
the usual suspects get a free ride as there has been no pre-planned recruitment to ensure players know if they fuck up there’s someone straining at the leash to take their place.
Our recruitment to create a hungry internally competitive squad has been abysmal.
Tav, Goldson, Lundstram and to a certain extent Souter and Dessers know they can’t be dropped - not because they are invaluable but because there’s actually nobody else.
So they get comfy knowing they will play every week knowing there’s nobody fighting hard for their jersey.
Our injuries haven’t helped but when everyone is fit there’s still no real competition, the quality is just not there.
