Which sums us up perfectly at present.

If Horne and Obst can get a run of games under their belts,then the "direction" will come....

Mind you,that's a moderately-sized "If"

"Manu was dangerous off the bench." When was this? I thought he was distinctly average yesterday. Also, why name a sub on the bench who never gets close to coming on - absolute lunacy. You might as well just name 16 players and be done with it. The bench and how you use it is massively important nowadays and we had one player who didn't get on and one who played for 12 minutes. Name me another team that does that? Shocking.

The thing is he needs the op now but but has answered the clubs pleas to play despite knowing full well he is probably hindering his own claims for a new contract.

I think Agars comments "Take him effing off." against Leeds gives that away.

To say nothing of his long term health.

Spot on Jake. I can't help but feel that this selfless attitude may well have prevented us seeing the very best of him over the years though, and quite probably contributed to his recent run of long term injuries.
