Not surprised. He has looked out of his depth and won't get much game time with us.
A chance for him to show he can perform at Championship level.
A good opportunity for our young guns and will save a few bob on wages.
I said straight after our first game against Barnsley when he came on as sub, Wintle looked lost to me as if he wanted to be told what to do.
Although I didn't go to the Sutton game, I think he started but failed to influence the play at all. Not sure if he picked up an injury, but I don't think he was in any of the 18 man squads for Peterborough, Blackpool nor Millwall mainly because of that poor Sutton performance .
The last staw for me was his aimless appearance alongside a lacklustre Vaulks against Brighton. The opposition were quick and slick, but no great shakes to run rings around two of our midfielders like that. Vaulks can play better than that because we've seen it, but for me Wintle is way off the pace at the moment and we can't afford to wait.
Haven't had time enough to even assess if he's got potential for later this season, but on what I have seen, we won't miss him. I'd rather have kept Watkins as an option up front rather than Wintle as an option in midfield.
