Regarding the outgoings, equilibrium is key. A lot of players need and desire game time, so it’s important to strike a balance so that you don’t shortchange yourself. However, we also owe it to the players to provide them with the chance to play if they need it.
“We also need players who are completely focused on the task at hand, and we achieved that to some extent.”
