Agreed, when the best we can manage is Lewis Kerr to replace are Number 1 (no offense to Lewis Kerr, sure he will try hard) then you know something is wrong.....
I question if it helped us on our way. Because of the injury he scored 0,0 in his first two rides. Yes we got 5+1 for the last two rides but a fully fit MPT would have scored more than that, guaranteed.
Take Lyons comments with a pinch of salt, heat of the moment I doubt Redcars fixture list is top of his priority list.
Only person who will decide if MPT is riding is MPT. Selfishly, I hope he does rest, but I'd be gutted if it was the other way round.
