Is it possibly the case

That Roeder had to make promises to reading, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Middlesboro regarding the playing of our new loanees just to get them to come? Some sort of quoto of appearances? And now Roeder is stuck with his promise, hence his seemingly odd team selections?

Hucks should always start before Gibbs or Henry, and definitely before Pattison in home games. To leave him out of favour of the loanees is a gross insult in my book.
