Absolutely, it was only the second leg of the play-offs at Sheffield United that let him down when he got his tactics wrong

Well, it wasn't just that to be fair. He was a better coach than Lowe will ever be but we had only won 1 game from 10 when he was sacked. Plus, he spent decent money on the likes of Sumulikoski, Chaplow and Trotman.

But we're talking about how he plays right now.

He needs to play. He's been poor at this level. Get him a loan and let him thrive not get splinters.

No he hasn't .... But even if you were right, using your logic at least half our squad needs to go out on loan pdq because they certainly have been poor..

Because he's been a defensive liability, repeatedly?

Do you even watch the games?

Hughes is the only defender we have I have any sort of confidence in, you'd have to be out of your tree to consider dropping him in a back 4 for Best.

And if we're playing wingbacks, there's even less chance I'd want to drop Millar, our biggest threat, for him.

He really has. And you're wearing blinkers if you think otherwise.

Kian will get better with games. Let him have them somewhere he's not a bomb scare for us.

If you don't think a run of 15 starts at a lower level won't help him infinitely more than watching this tripe from the bench, then I don't think there's any helping you.

If Best is good enough for England why is Lowe unable to play him. Its stuff like this that pisses me off.

How many of the England U19 squad are starting for their clubs? Archie Gray, Kobbie Mainoo, Jack Hinschelwood. Pretty sure that’s it

Lowe has many flaws to call him out on but that’s not one of them. Being called up to England U19 does not mean you’re a championship guarantee. He was absolutely crucified against Boro and Hughes has been one of the few decent performers in this run. Would you rather he started over Millar?

That being said, his delivery is undisputed so refusing to use him whilst we’re whipping crosses in is absolutely braindead

Nah you cheeky twat i go every game when i can, the whole defence was shit today, so don't tell me Best is worse than that shit show

Please give me an example from this season where Ched on his own has worked with any combination behind him.

Think you have misunderstood. I didn't say Ched was effective, or suggested he would have been. Just moreover I don't think the sudden difference was down to two strikers on the pitch, but for me impacted by Browne moving back into the middle.

He is far worse than Hughes as a defender. I didn't think there was anyone left who can't see that.

What he does have is good delivery. Should have been brought on vs Wednesday at the very least.

But for his development, he would gain so much more from a run of games at a lower level where he can work on his positioning etc, without it costing us.

The fuck are you on about? McCann got shoulder dropped into next week and they scored from 35 yards. Then a Jack Clarke counterattack where again McCann got mugged off and Lindsay was wrong side of his man.

How would replacing Hughes with Best have helped there?

Don't answer. It's not going to be worth reading.
