leonmuirinhoSnowflake Royal For all his much lauded great man management, Gomes has managed to treat Baldock, Gunter, McCleary, Mannone and Kelly quite badly.
He's openly criticised Kelly, Loader, Puscas and Joao in the press as well from what I remember.
Plus dropping Richards, Rinomhota and Meite (multiple times) for no good reason.
It's hard to call that good man management and motivation. I can't think of another manager you could list that many players for, including ones who been in post years.
And McNulty.
Being ruthless is accepted, if it works. This season, it's not working.
Of all of those McNulty probably has the best case.id say.
Meite, Rinomhota and Richards are still getting games. And Kelly and Mannone were just plain shit.
Compare Richards performances before and after being dropped. I wouldn't even mind if it was for someone decent but Obita is the left back version of George Evans, completely average. There was no explanation for this. Rino and Meite came in one game, then dropped, then came back in, then dropped. Make your mind up about them
Kelly wasn't that bad. He was slightly above average for me but needs to excel in the right style/formula. Agreed with Mannone
Gunter and McCleary, whilst are past their best have been treated awfully IMO. You don't banish players from the first team, especially not ones that have achieved a hell of a lot more than he has
