"It's little wonder that Evans is a bit rusty, the last league game he started was on New Years Day." I agree, it must be a confidence thing, he has played brilliantly in one game then been dropped for the next.
Any the one before his last start he was brillinat (against Leeds). It's ridiculous that Alex Bruce is starting in midfield ahead of Evans, Cairney, Olofinjana and even McKenna. It was embarrassing watching him against Brighton. My team tomorrow would be: Stockdale Chester McShane Hobbs Elmo Koren Evans Quinn Brady Gedo Simpson Oxley Rosenior Olofinjana Cairney Stewart Meyler Proschwitz
Meyler and Quinn need competition for places, no one should be guaranteed a starting place, and I sometimes wonder if that is showing in their performances. Stockdale Chester Hobbs McShane Elmo Meyler Quinn Koren Brady Gedo Simpson I still dont know where Boyd would fit in this if he does turn up here...
Did he not become a father just recently ? It's not an excuse but such a life changing event affects people in different ways.
It certainly does. Although the wife of Ronan O'Gara (?) the Irish egg chasing captain went into labour at 8pm on Saturday. He was out of the hospital by 11pm and played against England yesterday at 3pm. Got beat mind
the first time.. the first time.. the first time.. the first time.. the first time.. is there an echo in here?
No wonder they lost, the father was Brian O'Driscoll, the capain was Jamie Heaslip, the three of them must have been punching lumps out of each other before the game over the various issues you've raised.
