Bartosz... 08:40 - Sep 19 with 7496 views | portmanking | I'm told the senior players had words with Hurst re. dropping Bialkowski and a difference of opinion has brought about the beginning of the end in terms of breakdown in communication between PH and the senior pros. Bart cut an exceedingly forlorn figure at half time last night. Sat on the bench alone for much of the 15-minute interval, before signing a few autographs. [Post edited 19 Sep 2018 8:44]

" He knew what he signed up for by being a keeper. " Probably wouldn't have signed a new contract if he thought he'd be dropped so soon into the season though | |

Bartosz... on 11:19 - Sep 19 by portmanking | The Bart issue was apparently a bridge too far for some. |
So, having played five League games with pretty much identical lineups* (barring injury and suspension) and broadly similar tactics, the senior players are suddenly upset at the goalie being dropped for another one of their number? This supposed "scattergun" approach did not begin until Bialkowski was benched. * Seven of the squad started all five matches. Three others started all four for which they were available (Nolan and Nsiala signed after the first match, Skuse was injured for Sheff Wed). Three of the changes for Norwich had only just arrived at the club, one of those being a replacement for the suspended Nsiala. | |

Bartosz... on 11:44 - Sep 19 by portmanking | That's fine, I'm not asking you to buy it. But the individual I spoke with last night would have no reason to make things up. I do find it strange that people can't grasp why senior pros that appreciate the sterling work Bart has done in the last three seasons - getting us out of a hole on many occasions - would be irked by his treatment thus far. I was also led to believe that ME is equally unimpressed with Bart being sidelined given that he's now a top earner. |
Thing is, he wasn't making controversial decisions before Bialkowski was dropped. The team lineup was pretty stable. Even against Norwich, most of what he did was brought in people he'd just hired (two of whom were among the best performers on the day). I can see why Evans might be unhappy that the player he's just paid a lot of money to keep has been sidelined. Or the few remaining players who've been here for some years feel unhappy for their colleague. But that's the issue with running a sporting team, players have to be picked on current form, not just loyalty due to past achievements, however stellar. It's the same with the youths coming through. The manager can't be expected to sacrifice performance for sentiment. | |

That Makes no difference to some on here Bart has to play regardless, Gerken played well Saturday (wasn't there so can't comment) played well last night apart form a couple of dodgy kicks No one should be guaranteed a place and if you want the shirt, play well and keep it. Unless it's Bart of course ( I am big Bart fan) but he has been below par and When he gets his chance, which he will, he will step up his game again | |
