This is madness. The world has gone insane.
The manager of the English soccer team in the '80s, Denis Taylor, used to select some players based on what he called their "workrate". Put simply, it meant they were absolute crap but if they touched the ball 5 times in 90 minutes it was equivalent to some of Englands' better players carving up the opposition. Not that I would say Guerra or Poulton would carve up the opposition. But Guerra could provide some strength in the area from half forward to half back and Poulton could certainly set up more plays than Cochrane.
The problem I can see arising here is that even if Cochrane doesn't get any kicks and we win, Choco will be loath to change a winning team.
