A squad as threadbare as ours relies on utility players, it does not have the luxury you crave. Do you really really think Robbie would have been in centre midfield if Labadie had been fit for instance ? It is not Robbie's fault that Mike Flynn didn't entrust the likes of TOE to do the work off the ball that RW did.
No us tiny minority don't understand why he was being played at right wing back when we had Pipe and Reid on the bench , or why he was chosen in front of Dolan in midfield, then he had a poor game but played the full 90 , or left wingback and Butler was sat on the bench when in our opinion he didnt warrant or proved to be good enough in the positions. He played because MF altered the formation or dropped better players to get him in the side week after week. how long did Sheehan have to wait to get game time ? He was saying he was fit and needed game time to build up his fitness but many games he was left on the bench whilst Willmott got a full game eve if he was having a 'mare'
Ok he had a 'purple patch' when the 'glamorous games ' against Leeds and Spurs but how many 'run of the mill League games' did he play in that he was poor, but still kept getting picked. Who knows , with a full 11 v 11 we may have got into the play offs
Thats what you fail to grasp bt think the way to win your argument is to name call or belittle other fans views
And yes if Labadie had been fit MF would still have had him in the side at the expense of other players who were better suited to the role
Why not send your CV to the Club and ask them if it's possible for you to join their coaching team, as third position adviser to the manager. He might just listen to you. You never know you might even become Newport County next manager.
