Of course it's ultimately a matter for the current coach, but does that mean we can't give our opinion? Certainly you aren't shy about giving your's. Forums are meant to be places to engage with this game. I think it is a good thing if we debate NT strategy and players. Maybe it will get more people interested in training for the NT -- which, by the way, is the only way we are going to improve because, much as you are suggesting by bringing up my popularity as NT coach, the talent pool I had was my biggest handcuff. No matter what strategy I chose or which players started, England would have ended up in relatively the same place last season (maybe with an extra win, but no further in the tournament).
