This year was never about winning it was about developing the players first and foremost. Now before posters jump up and down it doesn't mean that they haven't gone out and had a crack every game, even in the games played over the last month, it just means that the primary goal this year was getting the players to further understand the gameplan and find players that are capable of delivering it as well.Thats very much a fanboy approach to supporting a club. Not that there is anything wrong with that. We all do what we can to cope with losing every week.
Did you have the same blinkered view with walls, gieschen, frawley and wallace? I'm sure a lot of fans could have done better jobs coaching the club.
There may be a reason why tuck isn't playing, but I can assure you it will have nothing to do with winning a game of football. Which is what I expect from my club, week in week out. That they have a real crack at winning and don't pretend that losing will somewhere turn the club into a bunch of winners in some distant future alternative reality.
FWIW, I actually think that Tuck will still be at the club next year as I have no doubt that its been explained to him why he has been seemingly overlooked this year. I also believe that he has accepted that he is no longer a walk up start for the 22 each week.
