Dilemma at Last

Ok, thoughts about Sunday are fading, still annoyed and I have replayed the game in my head so many times. However a particular player gave me a bit of cause for thought and I am so glad. I finally have a dilemma on who to pick and who to leave out. The majority of the season the team has picked themselves but now I have a sub fighting for a start and then after training someone else showed they want to start and I think it is brilliant and truthfully about time. At training the ladstold me what I look for when picking the team and the one they didn't get was "effort" this isn't just effort on a sunday but effort in training. I have told the team before if you don't put effort in training I can't put effort in on a Sunday to get people on the pitch. Last night everyone was excellent and now on Sunday everyone deserves to get on and have a game of football.
People may say this is harsh and its all about Junior football and the kids playing games and enjoying themselves. The latter is true, but if you have a squad of 14 and 11 lads train hard, have a laugh and then on a sunday thos 11 start and play there herats out and enjoy there game. Then you have three who can't be bothered turning up for training or when they do they would rather be somewhere else, then on a Sunday they run on the pitch as they have turned up and can't be bothered. Who is this fair on, the 11 lads who want to play and try or the three who have turned up and should play its junior football. It is a debate that sadly with our liberal government that competiveness is a bad thing and certain kids all deserve a chance. They do deserve to run out and play but put the same effort in as others. It doesn't matter if you are not as good as long as the effort is good.
These are just thoughts and I would like to think other football managers agree with this, where as parents may not. They are not directly related to Beighton Falcons either, it is something that has come up with a related subject and I thought I would share the fun of being a football manager.
