Sainsbury comment re Subs.

[John F]

I would like to hear your comments on Sainsbury comments re the Subs in tonight’s game. My opinion… Disgraceful. You don’t single out players on national TV. Very disappointed with this comment from a senior player and supposedly our leader. And another thing…. Pot… Black.

This sort of stuff should probably be dealt with in the changing sheds.

This sort of stuff should probably be dealt with in the changing sheds.

Maybe they've tried that and it hasn't worked. Do we care if Sabit Ngor is upset?
I don't to be honest. Sainsbury knows a lot more than what we do.

Reminded me of Mauk trashing his team in the post match interview straight after he got back. Wasn’t a good look then and isn’t now.

Sainsbury came back as the unsung hero, wrote himself out of a third of the season with his gym injury, was utterly honking when he returned and now he thinks he had the right to stand there and publicly berate the young players who came on in the last 20 mins of a 90 minute sub par game?

Right or wrong in his assessment, it’s poor form, poor leadership and a bit of pot calling kettle black,

Both he and Jacko need to do a bit of soul searching, looking in a mirror and asking the big question that all good leaders ask when it’s going to shite.. “where do I fit into this and what can I personally do better to improve it?”

My reading of the tea leaves and tin foil hay theory is that this was a subtle jab at the subs chosen and was actually aimed at Jacko, not the individual players.

I would have kept Theo on and hooked Fejao for Sash, who would've been fresh and raring to go down the right.

Instead we lost all stability on the left and they subsequently punished us down that side, Sains was absolutely livid after the first goal and got straight up to berate Ngor.

I think there are two camps on the Squad, I think one is behind Sash and the other is with Jacko.
