“We’ll have a chat about how we go at the last two games, basically,” he said. “There’s several different ways you could go at it but we’ll discuss that with the players and make a decision.”It can’t go on like this. Whether it’s cutting League finals and/or pushing out the Championship by a couple of weeks, something needs to be done.
