T’other board

As you know I'm not a fan of Comedy Chris, but on this occasion I agree with him 50%.

It's been obvious Tanner wanted away this season, I assumed that's why we signed Whelan and Tanner was left out in the cold for much of pre-season.

It's accidental Whelan has looked a better centre-half when moved there last minute when Hayden self destructed. Tanner was only probably back in the team to keep his price tag up, but as Nigel Pearson rightly points out, do you blame Tanner or does the responsibility ultimately lie with the person who picks the team?

I think we should’ve realised the moment Whelan was brought into the building Tanner was on his way this summer. Beech has already admitted he was going to play Whelan at right back and only due to injuries did he fill in a centre back but then excelled in that position. Whelan is obviously now seen as centre back with Mellor being brought in. Tanner didn’t play most of of pre-season, I wonder if there had been earlier bids. No problem with Beechy’s comments, Tanner is more suited to playing at a higher level with less physicality, he was bullied and targeted a few times this and last season. Many are treating it as Tanner is the golden boy who did no wrong and Beech is the villain.
