I know he isn’t obliged to but I’d have thought given the circumstances that if it was an amicable and honest enough decision that Wes may have issued a statement. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him playing again soon.

Regarding the strikers position, I don’t see Effiong as a replacement for Thomas at all. He seems worryingly similar to Wootton to me which is why I was surprised to see them both start on Saturday. As others have said, I’d prefer to see a Knowles type start alongside either of them...that chance Wootton got near the end against Torquay are the type that Knowles seems to thrive in.

I hope he gets a start tonight but I’m not optimistic.
