forget the fact that this was the northern rail cup. what we had was a squad of 17 players, all deemed good enough for first team duty.D.P.has assembled this squad and it will be down to him to make it work. diid we sign finn because he was considered a suitable replacement for Harris, or because he was player of the year in div.2. did we sign the papuans because they are top players in positions where were weak, or because the are papuans and that means they're good. did we get the lads from leeds because they were seen as top young prospects who could improve our team, or simply because they are with leeds so they must be good. i don't know the answer, but we must assume that DP did not just sign these players willy nilly and so he must be given chance to mould this squad into what he wants. if he turns things around and gets us to where we want to be, good coach. if he fails, well, you know how it works................
