It wasn't just the Fleetwood game, he was below average throughout a lot of October. In any case, he's one our better players recently. I think Jackthecap's point was that McCann won't drop certain players no matter how bad their run of form is. Wilks is a perfect example of that but instead of benching him and giving him the opportunity to fight his way back into the team, he throws him under the bus to the media. He's extremely stubborn and arrogant considering how **** he is. When it's Mourinho, fair enough because he has trophies at several huge clubs on his CV; when it's a guy who's never gotten a team promoted from League 1 and gotten the only Championship club he's managed relegated, it's just embarrassing.

Exactly the point Kalman. No matter how poor he will resist all logic. It's like after the Wigan drubbing last season. He drops Long (at last) for the next game. We get beat 1-0 and the consensus is that Ingram did well. Long is back in the next game. When he does drop players it seems either entirely arbitrary or to restore his favorites who he only drops weeks too late when out of form.

McCan't has his favorites more than most managers do. He will stick with somebody he likes regardless of what they do/don't do. You could call it stupid and stubborn. Wilks, Long, Elder and maybe Coyle now fall into that category. It takes a hell of a lot to get him to change his mind.

A bit like Peter Taylor with Junior Lewis

Touche!

He always seemed to be out of his depth and the weak link but was always first on the team sheet - no matter how poor his form on the pitch.
It must have been what he brought to the dressing room because PT was no mug.

I think you have it spot on Pricey, in his defence, JL read the game pretty well and was a good organiser, not a bad tackler either tbf: but as you say PT trusted him implicitly and was his voice on the pitch.
