A LOSS of confidence was the pathetic excuse Brian Kidd makes for eight matches without a win. It was his job to send the players out in the right frame of mind.

If these players with no confidence (if that's what it is) can't stand the heat in the First Division, they should be in the reserves, and on the way out.

I think the young ones should be given a chance. In my opinion, Jansen, Dunn, Taylor and Johnson, along with Filan, Davidson, Kenna, Carsley, Frandsen, Ward and Ostenstad would give commitment, effort and skill in a settled side.
