I would say we have progressively got worse as the season has gone on. We were better at the start.
True blue- what have you seen in Boxall and Lyndsey to keep harping on about starting them??
Could it be that the other teams have got better as the season has developed and the Phoenix haven't?
I haven't seen much of Boxall nor Lindsay so my point is give them some decent game time to prove themselves. Likewise, Hogg, who will need serious game time to find his feet. Otherwise we won't know what they can really do. These are players for the future. We know what the current band of old pros can or can't do.
So not having seen much of them you want to chuck them in to see what happens? This is not some pre season friendly tournament. In the harsh world of pro football a "new player" just has to train their arse off and impress the coaches to the point that they are thought to be better than the incumbent or bide their time until they get the chance through injury to press their claim on the field. Hogg has not been around the club long enough and Boxall has done okay when he has had the chance but despite Siggy's shortcomings he is still better than Boxall has been.
Actually on reflection it is not a "harsh world of pro football thing", it is something I learnt as a 12 year old.
