Fans may feel strongly about whether they consider Cox has picked his strongest team or not in the last two games but surely be has all the latest evidence from his medical and coaching staff, plus what he sees himself in matches and training to access the most fittest players to start. Plenty of teams have players on the bench at start of games that are not 100% fit but can give the team 30 minutes or so later on in a game to help the team out. Just saying Cox is in a better position to consider the best options for team selection in any match compared to any observing fan, I can’t see him picking lesser players from choice unless it’s a fitness issue regarding some of the others.
