Interesting who didn't make the squad last night....

Sat Oct 15, 2016 3:36 pm

No room for OKeefe, Huws, John, Connolly, Zohore, Gounongbe. All regular squad players under Trollope. I was surprised OKeefe didn't make the bench at least, but I think you can tell the strength of a team by its bench and last nights bench was very strong and able to make a difference if it was required.

So what becomes now of the likes of Huws and John? Huws was never given a chance, whilst I'm not a great admirer of John who's had a number of chances over the years but never quite held down his place.

Took Warnock less than 10 days to work out that Gounongbe and Zohore are nowhere near the quality we need at this level.

Don't think he needed ten days, not the players fault but as bad as I have seen at this level.

Only so many can be chosen and if they were included I think be asking why the others not included, time will tell. Wasn't connoly banned? Okeefe is a surprise he's really decent and thought he would have been a shoe in with his energy in starting 11 let alone squad. Agree with comments about Declan but in Bennett pelts and Richards we have 3 decent full backs who all offer something different, he could struggle. Personally think he's not championship standard.

Let's hope Warnock can get Connolly back to the player we know he can be.

He's been an absolute liability so far this season!

I think Jazz Richards is on borrowed time, in his after match interview Warnock said ," Jazz was fit then he pulled something"
Judging by Warnock's attitude I don't think he believed him .
