what does pagan need to do.
he needs to grow some balls and accept some of the blame.
Fevola was useless after the slight groin strain he endured during the 2nd quarter - if that was all it took for him to become useless he shouldnt have played.
Stevens - is clearly not right, the first few weeks he couldnt miss a target, but now just about every single one of his kicks fall a few meters short of its target - clearly carrying an injury.
Kouta - is clearly way of his best and also appears he has a remergence on his knee injury, give him a rest.
Campo - appears he is carrying an injury but he needs a rest in the two for no other reason than he is a petulant little shit - Walker and Aka where at it all day and not a free kick was paid against either of them, but Campo - 3 seconds into a bit of hurry curry - freekick to AKA. Needs a rest to smarten him up.
Houla - well prancing boy needs to get dropped to the twos and have a long hard look at himself. Has been shit, shirks to many issues, and now his disposal is starting to falter we cant even use the excuse that we have to have him in due to his high level of skill.
Scotland - a little like Houla - shirks the issue to much for me, several times he had the opportunity to put his body on the line and get the ball to our advantage but didnt do so, becoming a liability. needs to be dropped.
Johnson - did okay - but i think Blackwell should be given a chance to see how he goes. Blackwell shouldnt play every week until he has a more matured body, but Johnson provides about as much as Blackwell and Blackwell will benefit more by getting a game now than playing Johnson.
For me everyone else did well. Waite, Walker, Whitnall all did very well, Betts when on the ground played his part, Davies, like betts, when on the ground did what was required.
Our defence - poor bastards the lot of em. Try their guts out only to be let down by the lack of defensive pressure coming from our midfield. Carrots, Livo, Thorton, McGrath, Teague all did well in very trying circumstances.
Our forwards where pretty good as well - making some mistake (waites shot on goal) but they will learn from this.
I blame Pagan for all of that - for not having the conviction that a coach should have by making the hard calls and telling them to rest/drop them and bringing in someone that deserves to play the game.
Kouta, Stevens, Fevola (after the splits) where pretty much useless during the game and IMO was due to injury, if they arent right, dont play them and give someone in the twos that is fit and deserve it a go.
I hate losing, hate it with a passion, but playing the likes of those that i mentioned that are clearly injured serves no purpose what so ever and pagan gets the blame for not making the hard decision and telling them to get themselves right and have a rest.
