I wonder in the two years he's been here how often CW can honestley say he knows his best eleven ?
In my opinion the only real times its been truly settled was the team that won the play offs and the team at the very start of this season. Most fans could have reeled off the starting 11 and been right.
But at pretty much all other times there has always appeared doubt over the selection of at least one or two and right now I think about 9 are unsure of their place and hardly anyone would be brave enough to put too much money on trying to second guess Wilders team.
I don't think he knows where to accomodate Craddock, who to play up front, does he play Potter, are we missing Heslop, do we need Halls height, is Futcher better than Worley, Purkiss or Batt, Kinniburgh or Tonkin. Its a right mess.
There are probably 10 big calls that I think Wilder is struggling to make. My feeling is that he's far too rash in discarding certain players but much too patient with others. Whether he feels that certain players are just one good game away from taking off - namely Craddock - I don't know but some of his selections of late are bewildering to say the least.
Just have some faith in what you consider your strongest eleven and stick with them and stick with a system that you believe in. Let them bed in, become familiar and hopefully see the rewards.
