If he's not up to the task...

Of doing himself or the team justice with his performance levels (due to a medical condition) then he shouldn't make himself available for selection.

People would prepbably have had more sympathy if he'd have come out through the club and admitted that he's seriously struggling and it would be best for everyone if he took a break from the game.

If you keep continuing to put yourself in the spotlight and keep performing poorly then people are entitled to voice their opinion.

I certainly don't 'hate' him by any stretch. He's been a decent servant for us but probably shouldn't have been a regular in the first XI for the last 2-3 seasons.
