- Same point above for the management of this team.
- Also fair to say, that people can make mistakes, that includes Hartley and the management.
So if they don't play Bennett, is that what we are saying, that this is one of the situations where Hartley and co are just completely missing the boat? Not impossible by any means, but is it likely. If he goes in that direction, he clearly feels he's got better options than Bennett right now to help us win the next game, we can't possibly believe that's not his goal right?
So what do we think is more likely, that people just really want to see Bennett play and it's clouding their views, or that Hartley is just really making a boo boo?

It's not a right or wrong debate, it's choices. I don't think anyone is saying that Hartley is wrong, they are stating why they think this player or that player is their preferred choice.
There are no right or wrong answers, all we can do is watch the game, and then debate with perfect hindsight!
