Thing is though that he made a call on the day and as we know it didn't work, but I expect he has his reasons - maybe Rhys had been on fire in training that week. Maybe Reid was off colour, or the manager was aware a long time before we were of his lack of commitment and duplicitous nature. We won't know till Reid writes his story in the papers one day, but you're quite right that it seemed a strange thing.
Yet, if it had worked and Rhys had scored a hat trick we'd all be remembering it as an act of genius by the manager.
When you're in command you have to make calls and sometimes they don't work out, but I honestly think that Sir Neil makes the right call more often than the wrong one, and more often than most managers do.
Was it really a rational call when the club were staring at relegation?
If you disagreed with it, then why haven’t you referred to it before?
