Coaches and fans always miles apart.

Exactly right - we don't know. However, what we do know is that Holdman isn't playing well - even being charitable you couldn't say that the guy has played better than average at any point and has dipped below average fairly often. If we know that (and I doubt anyone would argue) then the coaches certainly know it but for whatever reason, they won't put Rocky in and you have to feel that it is because they think he will be worse than Holdman at this point.

Senile old Rumsfeld summed it up beautifully with his known knowns and unknown unknowns etc. To us and the coaches it is a known known that Holdman is poor. To us Rocky is an unknown unknown but to the coaches his is a known unknown. (Good old Rummy!)
