Always cautious of giving away anything to an opponent before a match, Vermes cagily responded, “I’m going to put a team out to go win the game, that’s what I’m going to do. People will be on the field for the last two game that deserve to be on the field.”
When asked if there was a strategy to what players he will use, perhaps playing more young players, Vermes still played it close to the vest regarding players but he did lay out expectations. “The strategy is a simple one. Yes, we are out of the playoffs but I will tell you; I’ve seen over the years, I’ve been doing this for a long time, I’ve played in the league and as a coach and I’ve seen teams that get in this position and they just mail it in.
