Re: Deeney
Bluesince62Does anybody else think that Troy may not have been brought in over Bowyers head to try and placate the fans .Cant see any other reason why hes getting so little game time Juke did nothing last night to old to slow to be playing Wed/Sat week in week out i know Troy is not the quickest either but you dont get fit sitting on the bench .
Fitness.
Troy is way short of match fitness, and he knows it. That has not only blunted his performances, but it will have eroded his confidence, too. It’s a vicious circle.
I believe resting him was a good decision by Lee B. It breaks that vicious circle and sends a strong message to Troy - you have to be fully fit & earn your starting place. You don’t start purely because of your reputation and performances a couple of seasons ago.
I think that will give Troy the motivation to get himself fit sooner rather than later, as a player of his age desperately wants pitch time.
Both Lee B and Troy are struggling. They both have my full backing, as they each need time. We’ve invested a lot in them, and we need to do all we can to help and encourage them to succeed.
