I know we wax lyrical about , why isn’t he getting a run , or , why isn’t he being played there rather than here but the one thing we all have to remember is that there’s a Football Department , not just the coach ( who still may get the final decision but there’s a lot of input from the others ).
So in my opinion any decision on selections is probably a group decision rather than just Seibold choosing favourites etc.
We used to bag Des something chronic back in the day but I remember Dennis Moore ( his assistant ) coming to one of our pre WCC games functions in Leeds and he was happy to answer questions from the group and his answer was just that.
He said , the bulk of the team pick themselves ( if fit ) but we look and discuss particularly the bench for each game depending on who we are playing.
He told us it was a sit around the table , with the specialist coaches , the reserves coach , the head trainer , he and of course Des.
So it’s always the coach who gets blamed but it’s a team decision I believe.
