Quote Juan Cornetto="Juan Cornetto"How can you say that. Strange to select these two out of the under performing squad.
McGuire has only played 3 or 4 games this year and last season was one of the best if not the best. JJB returned from serious injury in March and has been one of our best performers and top tackler. He must be averaging around 40 tackles per game (many one on one) and despite missing the first part of the season is ahead of the likes of Bateman and only 23 behind Chris Hill in overall 10th spot. Someone unfairly commented that JJB is running on fumes.....well he could do to waft a few few of these Castrol R type fumes around the dressing room and get some more energy into his younger team mates.
Of course we have to plan for their replacements but there are several others that I would be looking to replace before theses two.'"
Because everyone expected McGuire to be able to turn it all around on his own - and was probably rushed back.
That amount of pressure is not good for anyone - let alone an injury prone player.
