For many years I've often heard players or pundits say, of a player who has had a start/stop season due to injuries, they really could have done with a good pre-season! I think for the 1st time ever with KDB, I'm at long last beginning to fully understand, that although at times this season he has started games injury free, he has neither been physically fit nor psychologically fit to cope. In essence he has been stumbling through games, out of tune with the speed of play and asking too much of his body to accommodate a lack of core physical strength and mental resilience. In short I would write him off for this season as the last thing we want to do is scar his mindset into believing he is not a great player anymore by forcing him to play without the physical and mental tools to deliver performances worthy of his name.
