That's a shock.

Maybe Potter believes Wheeler offers more in attack than Armstrong?

Maybe Potter just wanted to give someone else an opportunity?

which doesnt make you knock on, miss one on one tackles or throw passes to the opposition.

True. That's just being human.

Cant believe ur slaggin him off ive played with him for years at brook he is a class player. People wud b moanin in years down the line when saints havent brough any youngster through

No one is slagging him off. Ski suggested he has a big chest, which is obvious, and I suggested he had a poor game, which he did.

He didn't have a poor game. He made a few panicy mistakes but that didn't add up to a poor game, and is very understandable in a youngster put on the big field. He did some good stuff too. He had a mixed game not a poor game.

Coming into the team, but being played out of position is a mixed blessing for him. He will be glad to be there, but frustrated he can't play in what he feels is his natural position.

Didnt say it wasnt. Was pointing out that playing poorly is playing poorly, and those kind of mistakes are nothing to do with playing out of position. Tackling, passing and catching are pre-requisites of all positions.

Yeah. I'd like our senior players to remember that, since they don't seem to be particularly good at two out of three of them at the moment.

maybe so, but that has nothing to do with whether Wheeler played poorly or not, and why he did.

True mate. You'd know this having been to the game on Friday, ahem.

I was at the game and I didn't think he played poorly. I almost fell asleep, mind you, because Saints were - shall we say - not at their sparkling best, but Wheeler played fine and in fact did a couple of superb moves for which he should be very much congratulated.
