The question is how many plodders at any one time can we fit into 17 positions?
Mc Cullough, Simms, Ford, Lawrie, Mybe (due to being totally out of position) = 27% of the team that takes the field so no wonder we struggle.
Then if you add a player or 3 down on form (Lomax, Hunt, Rava) you get to just short of 50% not playing up to acceptable standard.
It is to be hoped that Sullivan, Burns, Maguire, Burgess all make their way into the top grade shortly and then our fortunes might change and allow us the luxury of putting game time into Sloan & Amone
