They've not filed them yet. At least they're not overdue with Companies House, though. Unlike their annual return.
My take on it that:
Calderwood has to come back in, as we've only 1 winger in the squad
Richard Horne has taken a knock and may miss out
We need cover at 6 in the scenario that Horne's out, and Whiting and Turner provide better options in this regard than Hall.

And now the man he replaced is back from injury and back in his specialised role. Nothing sinister there.
I would challenge why Briscoe who has been equally suspicious in defence on the wing does not have a question mark over his head flashing equally as hard as the one over Hall's, though.

Would agree with that sentiment Hall was poor but others were not much better.

| Quote: FC DAZE "Would hope Hall would accept the situation as any other professional sportsman should.Work harder,get better,thus making it impossible for Agar to ignore him.
we can't afford to wrap players in cotton wool to avoid hurting their feelings and hope they don't go off on one.
Personally I think Hall has done OK this year,and has improved,however I also believe he is not yet a nailed on first team Centre and Agar will chop and change until his defence improves even more.Once he achieves this I think his name will be one of the first on the team sheet.'"
I don't want any player wrapping in cotton wool and would hope that anyone dropped is profesional enough to accept the decision and go about winning their place back in the right manner.
However, Hall had a massive loss of confidence last year mainly due to the fact that he had several poor performances out of position and then Agar seemingly made him the scapegoat.
Hall had a poor game against Wigan, but he was not alone in that department. His defence on the wing last week was questionable several times, but he was hung out to dry and left isolated by teammates far too often.
His general performances, including his defensive duties whilst playing at cannot be questioned this season imo. I would totally understand if Hall feels hard done by and a little upset after been dropped because one poor performance whilst playing out of position.

| I think Agar needs to stick to a settled backline sooner rather then later. All the chopping and changing isnt helping us find any consistency in the backs. I know injuries are unavoidable but I would like someone to make the right centre berth their own.
I personally would play Hall at centre every time but I also saw something in Turner at right centre in the derby to suggest he could be a quality alternative.

| The thing is, though, Calderwood's back. Our only winger. It's not rocket science that Hall will not be selected on that wing this week. Think the word "dropped" may be out of context. Agar has had to reshuffle after a player has returned from injury.
Are we saying the centres have been sufficiently poor to warrant being replaced by Hall? With the strength in depth we keep hearing about, players will be replaced most weeks I should have thought, depending on the opposition strengths.
Are we going to flap and call "dropped" every time this happens? This board's going to get tiresome, if so.

We have some strength in depth in the forwards, undoubtedly, with Moa, Burnett and Washy in the stands. But not in the backs. 1 winger, Yeaman, a 19 year old centre given the winger's shirt and 3 centre/utility players who probably overall bring the same net contribution to the team but none of whom are the real deal as a top class SL centre.

Pretty fair assessment. Hall hasn't been outstanding when at centre. Whiting was unlucky to lose his starting place the other week after his MOM effort. Agree with another poster that having a settled back line can only help the players but this change is a return from injury and so is understandable in that context.

The issue isn't Caderwood replacing Hall. The issue is a utility player being preferred to a centre. It suggests that Agar has a certain set of priorities for the centre position that don't align with Hall's strengths, hence my comment about Hall being better off elsewhere.
