Sparks, Bournemouth's game had evolved and possibly Arter was no longer the fit he once was. But 232 games for Cherries and 29 goals showed Howe took his time in getting rid of him.The fans there still loved him.
Yes, Victor was probably a thought ahead of most of our team but haven't we cried out for a mf with some imagination for years?
I have given my opinion many times on Reid and Murphy but expect them to do much better in the Championship. Possibly their level?
Agree about the Championship being a different proposition, but maybe Prem wasn't beyond their level and style of play - for sure it's too late to find out now.
Could be just our manager preferred not to use them because they didn't fit in his plan A of grunt and graft?
I know it was the last game of the season at Old Trafford, but it shows how a different approach to a game can get its' rewards.
The plain fact is we'll never know about last season, but what a challenge it would be if we did get back up and they were instrumental in doing so.

The fans there still loved him.
