Very few are from over ambitious play. Lots of pretty basic mistakes, so I’d say players not good enough.
From last year we have lost Leeming, Prior, hardaker, Briscoe, Dwyer and Sutcliffe.
The players brought in McDonnell and MacDonald have been pretty good. Sangare, Lisone have made small contributions but the others have added nothing at this level and some been very poor.
So at this time I think the playing quality, to actually positively contribute at SL level has gone backwards which is a big problem.
My fear for Smith is that players many on here viewed as deadwood have been replaced by worse.
