Get him in that back ******* four. It is no coincidence that our defence was at its best last season with him in it. I don't care if he likes god Flitcroft, I don't care how popular he is, I don't care about anything personal, he is needed in our side so get him in it.
most people would agree, last year flicker and his dad made no secret that they did not want him. I believe he would sooner play with all his Rochdale superstars and even start with 10 men before put sir Bob back in the team
Funny this. When Tyke1 or whoever starts his 'Team for Saturday' threads, I have been the only one picking Hassell. Rest of folk haven't even had him down as a substitute. As I say, funny. And he's only just returned to training after a slight knock picked up in training. He still won't get a game, mind. But I agree, still the best defender we have.
I don't see how he would have made a difference today. We'd have been fine with the three at the back we had today but as soon as M'Voto was sent off we were up against it. O'Brien was torn to shreds again and again by King's pace.
