I'm not really judging it off one game, as I said earlier he's had a very solid return the last 3 seasons and hasn't been rewarded for it. All the arguments against his inclusion seem to go out the window when guys like Chaplain and Griff get games as they don't impact a ******* thing in any positive manner.As I said, I don't want to get into a McBean vs every other CHF arguement. I think it's superfluous to the conversation.
Look, I get your point and your frustration. But I don't agree that a player who kicks a bag once every few games and is renowned for being below par on certain non-negotiables warrants selection on one game and one game alone. I know the counter argument is then why Griff or why Chaplin, but you know that those guys are going to influence those same non-negotiables which are keeping McBean out of the side.
If he has a pearler of game in the next one or two matches and doesn't get selected, then sure I'll stand right by you in frustration and confusion. But with young players (I say this from having a background in coaching semi-professional sports) you have to ensure standards are held consistently. The club believe to date, McBean hasn't provided that.
Maybe these non-negotiables need to include "competent performance" which would rule out Hunt, Chaplain, Morris, Giffiths who are just list cloggers at the moment.
