On Danny regardless of whether he’s been a great player, is a club legend or not that’s all immaterial as in the here and now he is sadly done at this level.
The one strength he had as his career reached the twilight was his defence but even that is gone now as he is simply not up to the rigours of SL as a starting 9 playing 60 plus minutes.
It’s not all his fault as the coaches who have been clueless and continued the same old policy that just doesn’t work any longer. That said Danny should be honest and put his hand up for the good of the team/club and say he’s done.
Tough decisions need to be made and sadly sentiment seems to haunt this club even now.
Every team plays targeting Houghton and after 15 mins he’s toast and we have holes everywhere. He’s not the only player either as far too many of our so called senior group players still at the club have been poor for 2-3 seasons yet still get game after game. Which if results and performance was there I could understand but they aren’t, they haven’t even been close yet they still get in 17 each week as if the club hope next week will turn out better
Grix now seems no different to Smith and is obsessed with fitting Houghton in and playing him for a full game. He had a great opportunity to shake things up but has failed to make the tough decisions for the good of the club.
