What was interesting was Buckinghams comments after the game, something like that the young players were more vocal at training and felt more comfortable stepping up without the senior players there. A lot of people have said that the players looked like they were enjoying themselves more, and it was noticeable that without Moss and Durante there was a lot less yelling on the field.
Is this much vaunted leadership group actually intimidating to our young players and demoralising the team?
