And I always expected TM would do the right thing, and play him.
But I did also expect him to play himself out of the team, as he would be left wanting.
All I have tried to say, is we need players to come in when the likes of Smallwood is taken out.
That's why we went for McGinn, Freeman (I bet he wishes he came here now!!!!) etc etc as he obviously always knew this himself. Equally I don't expect Smallwoods head to drop. He will fight to get back in the side, if he did lose it. Healthy competion never hurt anyone.

For what ist worth, I do respect your opinion, and enjoy chatting. If I come across really angry its merley passion. You raise some good valid points, and I do take them onboard. It maybe felt like an attack? It was not my intention.
I find your views interesting, relevant and level headed. I may not always agree, but that's life.
