After 60 minutes that game was there for the taking. if we're 3 nil down on Saturday after 60 mins, wonder if players will be taken off to rest them for the next game? I think at this stage in the season, we should be playing our best team in every game, we're trying to build a team and get them used to each other. and with the chance to progress into the next round, we shouldve taken the game seriously but didnt.
I agree with you for different reasons SM if players were 'injured' in the way Ryan Giggs was always 'injured' for Wales in friendlies, then it could lose a bit of faith in the dressing room. How many of our better players would have been chomping at the bit to play Newcastle. Whether or not we chose to decide it was unimportant, games like that are important to all our players. If people were left out for tactical reasons, those players will not be happy with Davey right now. Good luck with motivating them.
