When you preach something and practice something else, like Hartley has benching Sven repeatedly, you don't think it has an affect on work ethic? Because the stats seem to be speaking against you with remarkably consistency.
... oh, and dont get me wrong as a Sven defender... but when he is being benched and other "veteren" players like Glencross, Butler and Jackman are getting a pass, it makes his merit message sickeningly hollow.

First of all, we will get blown out a few more times this year WITH Sven in the lineup, so get over it. It's coincidence. I would like to see you back your argument with statistics that have a large enough sample size. I doubt you can.
It's only a hollow message if you're a child. A grown up knows when to take things personally and when to suck it up and accept a decision. If I was Sven I'd be that much more motivated the next game, and if he isn't, well too freakin bad kid, suck it up and force them to bench a veteran in favor of you. I personally don't find Hartley's handling of anything so far inappropriate, just inconvenient for a fan base.
