Because of McShane's great form since he came back into the side. Something you continually choose to ignore. Luckily Steve Bruce doesn't.
Stayed on the bench for weeks though didn't he? [NSFW]While McShane was titting about watching the ball bounce in his place.[/NSFW]
He was on the bench but he wasn't fit. Bruce was substituted one game and Dawson was brought on in his place instead of Faye
Hmmm... respect your opinion kind sir, but completely and utterly disagree. As well as Macca has played, sometimes, Faye has been a tank at the back for City when he's played e.g. Wolves at home, Leeds away; and has also chipped in with a few goals. Still my back 3 would be Chester, Hobbs and bruce but Faye has to be the one on the bench.
We did switch to 4-4-2 but if Faye was fit, surely we would have made a straight swap and stayed in a 3-5-2?
