With GB loosing their final pool match 4-1 against Korea today it confirmed our relegation from that pool.
Tony Hand went on record before these championships that this was the best group of players that GB has had in a while.
Now while that may be true we have asked these players to do things at a higher level than they do for their clubs such as being play makers, regular goal scorers and play on special teams.
How many of this squad do any of these things on a regular basis at club level and are therefore used to playing those role at international level?
We want our senior team to be successful at international level then the Brits who play have got to be given greater responsibility and major roles at club level and the only way for that to happen is to reduce the import level so that the international standard Brits know how to play the big roles and are ready for that at international level
