I am still perplexed regarding Milosevic, as he and Benalouane made a good partnership. Also the recent omission of Robinson seems baffling. If these changes had taken place when we out of the running for the play offs then I could have understood he wanted to give all players a chance to show their worth before the end of season. On the offensive, when Grabban injured, makes sense to me that Bonatini should have led the line with Cash and Lolley in support. I believe changing defensive line ups and playing Murphy with Grabban or as lone striker has cost us any play off possibility.
{Ed001's Note - to be fair, with regard to Robinson, he has had a lot of attitude issues in the past, which is why he was let go by Liverpool and why he struggled for a while afterwards. Ability-wise, he should have been the regular Liverpool left-back, but he kept playing up and it cost him his chance. Maybe he has reverted back to his old ways? MoN and Keane are old school and won't put up with a player who messes them about.}

Thank you Ed. it is good to hear someone put a bit of light to this situation.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome. It might not be the issue, but it would be very understandable. He missed a fair few training sessions hence getting dropped at Liverpool just when he made the breakthrough. Back then he preferred to go out and have a good time rather than concentrate on his game knowing he would have 50 years after he retired to live it up!}

I may have questioned Robinson's commitment in the past and was shot down in flames. I hope he can be controlled, we are short in the left back department and I'm not talking about BO's height.

We have to bear in mind that whilst we see the players once or twice a week for 90 minutes the management team see them probably on an almost daily basis.
They see them training and human nature being what it is coupled with possibly big egos will almost certainly result in spats and fall outs so it is perhaps never as simple as picking certain players in certain positions as puzzling as it may seem to some , myself included

Creepy weren’t Robinson and benelouine having a frank exchange of views at Ipswich mate?

Perhaps this is the type of situation where Roy Keane would step in and give the players a gentle nudge in the right direction.With a large portion of tact and diplomacy,of course.
