re Liam Gibbs

We were told that his recovery & rehab was to be on the conservative side, with long-term health more important than short-term benefits.
And now he is being press-ganged into the matchday squad, with none of the U21 minutes that were promised.

If we only need a warm body for the bench then why not use players from the U21 squad? (e.g. Shipley, Manning, Wilson)

Our season is over; we have young bodies that have been over-extended (and others that are still recovering from injury) and yet the Head Coach is doing little to shield them.

It does not make sense.
