Quote newgroundb4cas="newgroundb4cas"No I'm sorry you are v wrong on this, the Yorkshire pit mentality does my head in on a weekly basis.. " when I was a lad I played in my underpants and a vest -10 down in Feth we used to get on with it.. blah blah" use tha brain and manage players accordingly this lad clearly miserable and struggling needs support yes his professionalism v poor but needs low impact get the weight off played the friendlies 3 from 4. Coming back from a car crash that may of ended his career we risk him at Gateshead too weighty knee gets crocked. I agree he needed more time than most but he's a special case like Korkidas needs revving up I'm afraid. Nurture the cheese for a good season, weve had a Xmas binge with a v good destructible force and we have what we deserve. Kopjack on the other hand looks like he's made out of absolute granite and he could play 4 games a week with 60 minute stints.
Stop judging everyone the same'"
What a load of guff. No player needed pre match games more than PP as he clearly neede to lose weight and gain fitness. This is especially the case with the new more limited interchanges.
Regardless of that all players play whenever the coach sees fit end of. No special cases and no wrapping up in cotton wool. Your idea about Koppy is ashtray laughable, seriously man make touch with reality.
Players of every type get injured that’s s fact of life - look at Kirmond hardly a fat lad is he. If PP has a suspect knee it’s going to blow anyway, better now than five minutes into the first real game.
I really have never heard such nonesense, not even on here.
I feel for PP and we have certainly lost an option but so do all teams. Luckily we have a big strong squad and we will cope.
