    According to what ive been told Lopata has let say an attitude problem and is a tad prickly to deal with. Hence they are trying to move him on

    That's a shame and I can almost understand Kasper being like that, with the way the club have messed him about.
    But its still an unprofessional attitude isn't it, and Conor has made it clear he wont accept that, from anybody!.
    And I'm disappointed for Robbo as well, it didn't sound good at first when he was taken off. :oops:

    It seems strange that we're not even prepared to give Lopata a chance to put himself in the shop window to get a move, probably ego at play in this one.

    Always looked hard as nails to me. I'd play him.

    He apparently had some issues before he even joined us mate. Personally, I get why on an individual level he's upset, but that's football. He played for us, did okayish, got injured, lost his spot, got sent out on loan & a new manager at his parent club doesn't fancy him. It happens all the time when new managers come in, they just feel a different approach is needed, especially if Conor feels Lopata doesn't work well with himself or others around him. I mean look how vicious Pep was when going to City - poor Joe Hart was thrown aside fast!

    Disagree. I've backed us to win and want us to field the strongest possible side and without Roberts and Shepherd he's our strongest option.

    I think he's showing an equally negative message not selecting Lopata given it's a two month minimum injury for Roberts. There's a time and a place not to be swayed by your principles.

    Yeah maybe there's some truth in that, with the mistakes that our back line have been regularly making.
    And I'd be peed off as well, if I wasn't given a chance of a few games, in there.

    Completly ballaxed my message up lol. Its a value rather than principle, if is to be swayed then its not really a value. Culture is all about the long term and unless he explains to the players why hes playing and they accept it, its just going to bite him on the back long term
