Before the match Wise said " Alan Thompson will have a run-out too. I left him out against Yeovil because he has only trained for ten days out of 28 and looks a bit off the pace." So he doesn't want to use league games to get him fit, but is happy to use cup games. Also I think it's worth bearing in mind the following; 1. Thompson and Derry are very different midfielders, Derry's game requires a higher level of fitness than Thompsons. 2, Derry hasn't played for best part of a year, while Thompson has only been out sporadically. 3. perhaps he reckons Thompson is a better player half fit than most of the rest of our players? I think it shows that Wise has a flexible approach. ttfn Richard _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
