There will probably be more heat on him but there probably shouldn't be. I think expectations for GC are not in line with the reality of the situation. GC were lucky to win three games last season (given their percentage across the season) but that's what people are focusing on. I would consider...

You're correct. Better scouting means that GC can no longer surprise opposition. Another thing you might be seeing is that the opposition now view GC as fair game, they are no longer a team of rookie players and the opposition will approach them every bit as hard as they do any other side. In...

Teams also had absolute massive lists back then (think as high as 100 players). You could afford to play players in the reserves for years.
