GrahamC Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 surely if stead is injured why put him on the bench?give someone else a chance !!!!!!!!!!!!! Our bench already includes Edwards, who has never featured in league football and Jackson, who has made one sub appearance for us. Everyone else in the squad is officially "injured", though in Hunt's case I really doubt that he is. Maynard, Ribeiro, Wilson, Nyatanga, Rose and Williams are certainly unavailable, Akinde is out on loan so I'd be interested to know who you think should be on the bench instead of Stead...

Lrrr Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 are there no other youth teamers or reserves who could just gain some match day experience from being in the squad for a day? arn't the 2 irish lads for instance not currently with us? about to go on loan again yes but just give them a day with the 1st team.

What about Aaron Holloway - wasn't he almost called up about a year ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 he crossed my mind for a minute however replacing a striker on the bench with a defender? still like i said though would have just given another player match day experience so some of the nerves etc may not be there if they were to be on the bench again in the future.

arrytheb Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm of the belief that if you are fit enough to go on the bench then you are fit enough to start. If Pittman gets injured after 5 minutes then would Stead come on? If so then he should be starting. If it's just a matter of squad rotation then that's a different matter of course.

WellRedPhil Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Stead's clearly carrying an injury and that much has been obvious in recent weeks. What he really needs isa few weeks off but we do not have the cover for that. Him being on the bench in this state makes more sense than starting, even if the prospect of Clarkson partnering Pitman is rather uninspiring. Hopefully he can shake this off but the signs have been there for a couple of weeks that he looks troubled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Seems a bit daft if we really had no intention of playing him, maybe he adds to team moral or something? Otherwise we may as well of stuck Maynard on the bench to let him have some first team experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Reynolds Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The 'who else?' argument doesn't wash here. What kind of message does it send out to our young players if we're putting a player on our bench who isn't going to play? Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The 'who else?' argument doesn't wash here. What kind of message does it send out to our young players if we're putting a player on our bench who isn't going to play? Ridiculous. Really. Presumably you have the facts to make that observation? If KM knew there was no chance that Stead would be able to play before City left yesterday, do you think he would have taken him? If Stead was found to be unable to play on Saturday morning, it it reasonable to expect a replacement (who would be in Leicester for a morning academy fixture) to be drafted in ....

grifty Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The youth team were in Leicester so we couldn't really of put any of them on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo1111 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 maybe keef though palace would get a boost iof they saw stead wasnt in the squad so he stuck him on the bench for the mind game??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 he crossed my mind for a minute however replacing a striker on the bench with a defender? If you mean Holloway, I think he was playing up front, and scoring goals, when he was mooted for a call-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all told before the match that he was injured and very unlikely to feature, so I expect Palace were aware of it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
