I asked the question last week and we've now seen why he hasn't looked himself: responsibility and organisation.. He was superb today. I was never saying he was a bad player, and today showed what he is capable of.
Tbh, I wouldn't want to get carried away with today and it could still go tits up. So, I assume that's why Brown has said Wellens will play? Lets see how he's done after these next couple of tricky fixtures before saying he's our new FB.

Indeed - that seemed to me to be the point.

I doubt it. I can't see what McManus's motivation would be for insisting on Wellens being in the team, nor can I see Brown accepting such a stipulation. |

I wasn't thinking of McManus. |

Who then? I can't see anyone else at the club having an influence on team selection to the point where they could insist on a player playing. |

Surely you must see where she is going with this? |

I think he does. I think he is being obtuse.  |

I don't understand why he'd be able to overrule Brown on a decision like that though? |

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

Who was Saints top try scorer last year?
Actually scrap that, I've just realised who I'm trying to convince.

Being Saints' top try scorer is meaningless.
Jamie Foster was Saints' top try scorer in 2011. He was also our top points scorer. However, I am sure that only a small minority of Saints fans are now of the view that Foster should still be playing in the redvee, yes? |

It's yourself you are trying to convince. Watch some VHS tapes of the days when Wellens was good and reassure yourself, your confidence must have taken a battering today. One game without Wello and we're winning convincingly, attacking like a proper team and our fullback is scorching in for a hat trick. |

You have to admit, Saddened is actually talking sense. Is it a mere coincidence that we played so well in an area where we have struggled?

I'm not arguing that Wellens should replace Lomax at FB.
I'm arguing against this concept that once a guy is out of the team he should be run out of the squad. Same goes for Gaskell, Perry,Makinson, Lance. When each has been left out of the team someone will come on to argue that they should not come back. It's a squad game and some like Wellens can still add to the side even if it's from the bench.
I'm not just saying Lomax should play at FB because of yesterday,
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=544262&tsmp=1361691847&start=30
But you don't sell one player on the basis of another having a one game stormer. |
