Brown who went missing for almost a year never got dropped.
Bertos spent a couple games on the pine.. hardly sent packing for two years of mediocrity.
Siggy last year was pants, Boxall only got a run when Siggy was away or suspended.
Hogg didn't get given a fair crack, so i don't take that arguement for a minute.
Alternatively you could look at it as also the fact that he often failed to give certain players a fair go, instead sticking with his favourites, players like Daniel who was leading assists etc for us, but got relegated to a bit players role, or more historically Kosta, who no matter how well he was playing couldn't get a consistant start.
Or better yet how after we lost game after game by huge score lines last season he kept faith in the same players to turn the ship around when everyone could see the players he had weren't up to it and couldn't carry out the change in tactics. How bad does a team have to play before you give the other squad players a chance.... unless he has favourites and they are merely there to make up the numbers.
Does Rick really rate Lindsey for example... I mean he kept sayiing he's the future of the clubs midfield and never got a chance.
Ricki is a one trick pony manager who has little eye for talent. Kosta and Marco our two best youngsters signings were driven on the back of fans pushing for it than him actually knowing anything about it, lacks tactical knowledge and the ability to inspire his players.
