I would have subbed Flanagan at 60 minutes but that is because he is not one of my favourites. Davies is on for Whelpdale who has not seemed at his best.
It's a shame about Essam being out of favour, however we might find another good player in Davies, as I'm sure I've heard already he's a good prospect.
He was above Essam in the pecking order originally wasn't he? But sent off on debut? And then I'm pretty sure he was injured at the time Hessy was giving the youngsters a go last season....
Yeah I believe he was, but I'm saying in terms of Essams performances last season, it's a shame he hasn't been considered, not taking anything away from Davies, either of them over Flanagan who I'm not convinced by thus far.
Yeah he seems very strong and if he can prove to be better than Essam then he has to play ahead of him but Essam is good and I would rather see him than Flanagan.
