It’s probably just the wording in the interview, but wasn’t keen on the implication that because Myko got injured with 20mins left on Friday training it was too late to think of any major alterations. Game over, has to be a like for like swap, square peg round hole.Easy with hindsight, but a back 3 was the best way to deal with the problem. If you are struggling at full back, then you ease the issue by using wing backs.
Yes you don't want to change a winning team, but injuries mean sometimes you have to. I can't say he is adapting well to injuries or suspensions and I would be very concerned if we are without DCL on Saturday.
Erm. For £75k to £125k per week, I don’t think I’d have been that bothered if my boss said “Sorry lads. Crunch time, your missus will have to make her own way to Waitrose. Extra sesh Friday afternoon and come in Saturday morning to go through it on the whiteboards.” I mean he changed shape mid match and it worked fine (I know City had settled). Its not like they would have needed a 6 week residential course to switch shape.
Far too much trust in Holgate who got thrown to the wolves (still responsible for his own ineptitude though).
