From what I'm hearing there are a number of injuries being managed with players who still on the field.
The club appears to be managing not just a plague of injuries - but also some sort of group malaise - Weitering.
Pretty sure the club can see O'shea stuffing things up - but we have to maintain some semblance of reality with our age spreads.
So SPS is struggling with physical issues - needs continuity in the long term. Graham is a player on his last contract - he has stats he has to hit or is gone. Its not just about managing the team with Graham. O'shea is just cattle.
We are looking to 2019+ and are prepared to sacrifice for the benefit of the long term picture - but MUST balance that with caring for our current crop.
Graham being dropped is part of pushing him to be better - same as JSOS - O'shea being allowed to play is all about "nah, you're crap, we're not going to bother trying to instill any hope, give you KPI's or dangle hope - just stay out there and provide some flesh".
The Blues are going through a massive "big picture" restructure - the damned thing keeps getting dragged out of the garage for mandatory lap trials and qualification sprints while half the engine is still in the shed, cylinders missing, no turbo, nitro empty, blower on the fritz - but thats all getting fitted along with juicy extras.
This time - they don't know we are coming.
Is he the only player who needs continuity?
