Supposedly he was blamed for a goal last season so the only thing that makes sense is that Cox doesn’t trust him to do his work defensively, pick up his man at corners etc and considers him a liability.
Jeez, if that’s the criteria, how do we manage to put a team out every week?
Don’t you think that if Cox or the rest of the staff had seen anything in training or matches to think he was worth picking that they would give him a go??
There’s literally no one else, how bad can he be? He didn’t embarrass himself in his couple of appearances last season, did he?
