Team Selection this week

[JTofBFC]

Bit puzzled about a couple of Wally's decisions this week, perhaps somebody could shed some light.

Firstly, Jay Lovett is picked ahead of Dobbo even though Dobbo had apparantly recovered from whatever prevented him playing had the game been on the Saturday. Lovett's first game of the season I think and he is promptly shipped out the next day on loan.

Secondly, Rowly who apparantly can't play two games in a week features on Tuesday and plays well and is then asked to play again on Wednesday in a reserve game and gets injured.

Not wanting to be critical of Wally who has done superbly so far but am I alone in thinking both situations a bit bizarre?

No.

Wally says in today`s Chron that he picked the same team for Tuesday as he had for Saturday, to be fair to the original eleven. (Dobbo & Rowly were boh doubtful for Sat)

I can understand why there is confusion, I am a tad confused myself, especially in light of Rowlands now being injured.

As PJ said Wally was being fair to those he picked on Saturday, although it was probably not the best idea IMHO.

Rowlands only played 30 minutes on Tuesday, another 45 on Wednesday wouldn't have hurt and would help in his recovery both short and long term. Obviously events make it seem a bad decision.

If Rowlands can 'only play once a week' why in hell are we playing him in reserve games???????????

It's a cunning ploy to make sure no one wants him at the end of the season, so that we can sign him again on pitiful wages!

Wally's sharper than he looks.
