Blake's problem is an inability to actually pass the ball. Some great tackles, sure, but does that matter if he gives the ball away 10 yards away?
Koumas had no pre-season, barely kicked a ball for Wigan - was always going to struggle for match fitness and pick up niggling injuries along the way. And given Jones struggled to get Chops, Bellamy, Bothroyd in the team in a working formation, throwing Koumas in the mix would strain his brain cell.
