Oh, I accept that element of the argument

I didn't go to the game & I can only guess whether Roader made the right decision - sounds like he didn't

I'm just saying that he should pick the best players available, regardless of their contract status. Furthermore, I think that's what he is doing.

I think the evidence of the past few months is that he's his own man who'll pick his own team. He got Gibbs on loan *because* he wanted to play him...so surely no surprise when he does so?

        Clearly, Roader did think that Gibbs was the right choice tonight ahead of Hucks (NCFC) - Orlando, Feb 12, 23:34:41
        
        You didn't answer the question (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Feb 12, 23:36:34
