I hope Applegarth is a good coach, but I don't know and neither do you.
I don't mind people having negative opinions on the Trinity coach or the players once they have been in the job a while or played, that's fine by me. But what I don't get is writing them off before they start.
It's like with this Smith lad from Fev. You've just written him off because at 25 he hasn't quite hit the mark. But life is not like that, it takes time with most people. People learn, they grow up, they change or sometimes it just click , or they just meet the right coach and team mates where RL is concerned. This lad could be about to explode onto the scene as was once expected or he may end up a dud, but thy are the chances you take. Sometimes even those with huge reputations tank miserably. This is not just aimed at you, just give these players a chance and they may repay you big time, in truth what choice do we have, we can't buy success for now so we need to be bold and create it.
The only person saying stiff like “binning him” and “written him off” is you
I’ve just assessed his current game and made no assumptions on his future improvements then you go off on some gammon rage extrapolation till you’ve convinced yourself that it’s what someone else said and you do it often
