They probably got the worst of the conditions, but when Harry Gurney is your top scorer you have real problems. It's easy to blame the captain, but Mullaney commands respect and is one of the few to have performed reasonably well. The players need to take a long, hard look at themselves, because there is no way this squad should be performing as badly as they are.
