sandman No he didn't. He gave you the reason for Pearce not being involved on Saturday and you just don't like it because Alex is a fans favourite so you put two and two together and come up with five. Do you ever think that maybe Pearce was dropped on Saturday because he did get done too easily for the goals at Stoke? Or that Morrison came in because he did have a good game at Old Trafford? Before Morrison got injured at Southampton he was being praised as the one bright spot of our season now because he's made a couple of errors he's only in the team because of Pearce's contract. What an insult to the guy.
The attitude some of you have shown towards Brian this season is nothing short of shameful. So many on here accuse the players of not having the stomach for a relegation fight, well given the reaction on here to a loss (and not just restricted to last Saturday the sulking and accusations have been flying around all season) it seems they aren't the only ones.
That would be the first time I can think of that McDermott has dropped a first team regular for two mistakes in one game when otherwise that player has been very good.
That suggests that it's just an excuse to get anyone else in ahead of him as soon as he possibly can when there's a fit other option. Even if it was genuine. It was a hell of a cock up. I'll be interested to see if he drops morro after his couple of mistakes. Bet he doesn't.
