So artificially suspend a player just in case he picks up a 1 game suspension? You do realise that when everyone was agreeing with me saying we should drop players like McKenna round about the Millwall game last season to avoid a ban we were talking about them missing one game so that they wouldn't miss 2 games?
I picked up on that but didn't have the heart to say anything, plus it does make a tiny bit of sense if Bruce knows for a fact Meyler won't be available for Blackpool so he'd want to guarantee Evans is. Que TFT coming in and claiming this is what he meant all along...
We shall never know what the final score would have been had these 2 started the game but it all worked out very well actually. In SB we must all trust now. With having Meyler back it made total sense to leave Evans out on 4 bookings. SB did not and went another route. Fair play - he is the manager. It worked out well and for sure Evans and Meyler do combine very well in the midfield. Evans only poor game of late was the Lesta one when Meyler was missing. Tells you something like.... It appears that Colin had the same fears over Becchio (also on 4 bookings) hence why he was left out. Meyler was always going to be available for Blackpool. Some poeple need to read and understand what MON has actually said on the chance of Meyler being recalled early. Thankfully for us he has not needed to.!!! NB. Sunderland (SSN) look like taking Tim Cahill on loan during the MLS off season. Now does that pave the way for Meyler to leave on at least a season long loan ? Lee Cattermole will be back as well before Cahill has to return to the New York Bulls.
