ive never agreed with holding players back for a game.
I can understand on a weekend where there are two games a bit of rotation but keeping Shields out of the 90 mins in Ballybofey (where he might have made a difference of plus 2 points) a week ahead of the Rovers match is daft, he could get injured in training any day during the week and then youve missed him for both matches.
When Dundalk were getting outplayed in the first half last week i was thinking that Shields would have made a difference.
(even if it was just his usual pulling dragging and falling over) :eek:
