I don't get it. Thomas is liked by his coaches because he works hard and is a smart footballer.
I never thought he was all that talented, but I knew he worked his dot off.
I don't understand why people don't give credit where credit is due.
So many posters on here stated over and over again that all they want to see from our side is effort and attitude, yet they kick Daisy who delivers both those things in spades!
When the work and/or effort means not quite getting to contests, not being a marking option, and kicking out of bounds, grubbers and directly to the opposition, it's quite reasonable to question the selection of Daisy.
He may have an admirable attitude and give 100% but his best today is a shadow of what it was when he was at his peak. I know some folk believe that he provides on field leadership but, from what I have observed, Daisy is fully engaged in self preservation and has little time or energy for anything else.
Pay particular attention to what he does when we're setting up after a goal. He will generally run to the wrong position and will have several players telling him where he should be.
