I would have thought that penny would come into the side and hicks rested?

Why are we putting an almost full-strength squad out?

And why is the one that is making the most errors and needs the most practice, Riley, being rested?

Why not bring more reserves players into the squad for a match on this level, theres a reason why our reserves are 5 out of 5 in the reserves championship. Its reserves players like Taylor McCarthy or Adam Neal that have really driven the reserve team to top of the league why not try them in the first team squad. All these players need is one chance to show their potential.

I think the answer to most of your questions is housed in long term considerations. Everyone is on trial at the moment. He's assessing ability, attitude, effort etc. York at home is a great barometer of the last 2. That and the fact that our first teamers need to build confidence, shallacking a lower division team might help.

having said that, I would have liked to have seen McCarthy today.
