I wouldn't have played him either - but here's the thing

a confession - I've not seen a Norwich training session for about 30 years. So I haven't got a f**king clue. SAN sees them every day. He talks about them with his staff. He talks to the players. He knows about footy. He makes countless good decisions. Sometimes things go wrong - he'll have learned from it - but it doesn't mean that the decision at the time was absurd.
