Not got any details why he was subbed so early other than they were losing and its was the 57th minute , if it was injury fine, if not , he must have nudged the managers thoughts at half time , felt he had to give him have him another 15 ,before pulling him off ?
Just amusing, don't know really ,:sherlock:
Why is it amusing?
The only thing amusing about it is that the OP has no idea why he was subbed at all, and chooses to speculate. He should ask on their board, because I doubt anyone here was at Blackburn's game this weekend.Quote:

He didn't seem to move from a 10 yard by 10 yard deep central area. A number of times our full backs were taking throwings and looking for outlets; he didn't make himself available despite being in space. The game just seemed to pass him by. I really hope he isn't Danny Murphy mk II. Maybe he will be more suited at home on a slick playing surface?"
Fair enough :hehe:Quote:

I can't see Whitts as a player to drag a League 1 side out of trouble but I can see him as a bit part player for a Championship promotion seeking team, which he didn't want.
I think back to Graham Kavanagh, who would had his critics when we were in the third tier, yet was more idolised when he played for us and showed better form in this division and also managed a good spell with Wigan in the top flight.
Why is it not? good riddens to a total free loaderQuote:

I think his contract offer on lower wages was more to pay back his loyalty to the club rather than because we actually need him in our squad.
He's past his best, he's moved on; time to do the same!
boring...im really insulted..Quote:
