Heard you could bring lee Gaskell in for next season but don't no how true it is

Well, first thing to say, clearly I wasn't wanting a player to removed from the halves via a broken leg. So whatever I say here I want that to be clear.

However, it does present McD' with an opportunity to move things about without the wrath of the media or players.

For me we should be looking to give Sutcliffe and Burrow a run at 6 and 7, Sinny back at 13 and McShane the full 80 minutes. Most importantly as well we need to give this combination a good month to bed in.

The only worry is that with the other injuries we have we a light in term of creativity coming off the bench and apart from brute force we are going to lack any guile if things aren't going well for the 13 on the pitch.

The coach must pick the side that will keep him in a job for the longest possible time - not quite the same thing.

Yes it is. If he keeps picking the best side to win a game then this also is his best chance of extending his open-ended ccontract

Wrong again - if he picks the most experienced side it cannot be said he didn't pick the strongest side on paper provided by the CEO. That puts the CEO in a difficult position if the strongest side on paper isn't good enough then the blame shifts. The fact that Sutcliffe may be a better option than JJB is irrelevant - if he picks JJB and they lose he has - in theory - used the best players provided by the CEO.

There is not much of a side to pick when 16 of the side pick themselves irregardless of form, or injury come to think of it!!
