Kian Mcpherson, Dave Eccleston, Brad Taylor, Connor Saunders, Jake Bradley, Jason mossop, Chris Taylor, Liam McNicholas, Malik steele, Jake lightowler, Las tabu all injured or suspended. You could probably make an argument that potentially 8 of them are in your 18 man squad.
Youd assume if they are injured they arent training with the squad and then you consider that players that are fit are probably working shifts and missing odd sessions of training. So how is the squad supposed to improve and work on theirs systems for matches with that much disruption.
Doesn't matter who you have coaching as that is something that cant be controlled.
