holsgrove breaks a leg Difficult to say what has gone on really but there has to be something going on behind the scenes. Interesting that fernandez who has had far fewer opportunities during his time here does appear far more integrated despite his lack of pitch time, with Brian openly applauding his conduct...


Think that answer may also be subtle dig at sa

no. :lol:

think its likely that Sa is one of the ego's who isn't getting the whole group ethos, and brian is trying to send another message to him.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if there are issues behind the scenes. I remember when we signed him Archie's penalty gave an account of his time in Poland, which as i recall gave the impression that if he wasn't starting games then we could have a problem on our hands.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that he came here having been promised a promotion to the PL, seemed to be getting it and is now slumming it in mid-table. I could see a potential sulk there.


But I think in all likelihood this is being blown out of all proportion.

What was the point of bringing him on with seconds to go last night, in fact if he isnt going to be played, for whatever reason, why is he even on the bench, pretty obvious the manager doesn't fancy him, maybe the club are waiting for him to refuse to be on the bench ala Guthrie, not a team player, to justify his departure.

Less bringing him on for seconds, more to give vydra the deserved standing ovation and possibly trying to boost his confidence more.

Exactly. If he'd brought Cox on for two minutes people wouldn't have batted an eyelid. They'd just be focused on how Sa had been overlooked again.

From the outside this looks like a mistake. Of course, we don't know what is going on behind the scenes. Hope it turns out to be a masterstroke.

Well, I tend to trust Brian's judgement, but I'm disappointed if he does go, I liked him. I think it's no surprise Brian spoke about building a team with identity and criticised egos in the dressing room before selling Blackman and the (reportedly) big ego Sa... although I'm not sure why Sa has that reputation?

Not sure Brian had any say in selling Blackman. Doubt we sold him on any other basis than the money. It does seem that Sa for one reason or another isn't Brian's favourite though. Probably a mix of attitude & effort behind the scenes. Doubt he's a real troublemaker (like Drenthe was), but Brian clearly sees him as a problem that he doesn't need. I'd be very surprised if he remained here for the rest of this season. Especially as we've got Kermogant, and are supposedly looking at another striker (Rakels).

Google his time at Legia Warsaw.

He has a reputation.

You mean the Tshibola one Hartlepool fans sung last year that instead of using for Tshibola we just gave to Sa.
