Murray/Poyet falling out

[Husty]

I heard from 2 different people last night that Poyet and Murray have had a pretty big bust up lately, and that is why Glenn has featured little, I'm not sure I believe it myself, just passing on what I have heard, don't shoot the messenger.

 

[Sam Ovett]

I certainly hope not, and it is just Gus thinking Glenn is more of an impact player, and that now he sees we need him from the start. Any hint of a bust up and I get scared the harmony of our squad will be knocked out of sync with the love feel we have going atm :/

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I do hope it's not the case but goes on all the time in football, to be fair. Oh, & there's usually only one winner.

 

[Marc]

sounds like people looking for excuses as to why Murrays been starting on the bench..chinese whispers and all that.

 

[Seagulls4life]

I think he's just one of those super sub types at the moment

 

[empire]

not from the same sap,that said the special player is david bentley

 

[Dave the OAP]

If this is true, which to be honest we all hope it isn't, you can't really blame Glenn for being a tad miffed.

Gus has kept faith with barnes, when he has been misfiring ( yes he is leading scorer but on the laws of averages, he should be) and then he brings in a loanee and plays him ahead of Glenn,

I actually feel sorry for him

Has to be more to it than that surely?

 

[Sam Ovett]

Has to be more to it than that surely?

Well, one hopes not. Either that or he is trying to force him to be consistently good?

Murray didn't look particularly disgruntled last night. He was HAMMERING in the shots in the warm-up, looked pretty happy when he was knocking the ball around with OGH at half-time and when he came on, was all over the pitch, working hard. At full-time he was high-fiving everyone and shaking hands all over the place.

They didn't look like the actions of someone who was pissed off with life at Albion.

 

[Dirty Dave]

well there's only one way for Murray to prove Poyet wrong for dropping him, and that's on the pitch. He certainly made an impact yesterday and Poyet did single out praise for the 3 substitutes

shop window?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Do you know what I think we need?

ANOTHER thread about why Murray hasn't started lately. FFS, sometimes players are swapped round, why do people always have to add 2+2 and make 7?

*or is that the inevitable result of the education cuts?

Of course one could say he's putting himself in the shop window, I do worry though, if he is on his way in January, we will need to spend big to replace him, Barnes + Wood are not the solution

 

[Hiney]

Of course one could say he's putting himself in the shop window,

If you were a glass half empty type of person, yes.

Alternatively, he could be knuckling down to prove to the manager that he's worth a starting position ahead of any of the other strikers we have.

I believe in this!

Maybe he hasn't been dropped? Maybe he's being rested as much as possible until we get some more strength up front this week? I've seen Murray, like most of us, since he joined The Albion and he's looked a hell of a lot unhappier in the past. In fact, last night he seemed to be well up for the game, worked hard and to me looked quite happy-far from the look of somebody wanting away.

Or maybe the boy's just carrying some sort of injury that means he has to be used sparingly? Dunno

 

[BensGrandad]

, why do people always have to add 2+2 and make 7?

Thats rich coming from a police officer. To quote Bob Monkhouse in cabaret to a police officer in the audience ' Did you train at Hendon where they teach police officers to remember what was never said in the first place'.

Do we know why Murray was benched in favour of Wood/Barnes?

Murray has started pretty much every league game this season.
