If Bodin gets the time Stevens did and fails to deliver then there will be no argument from me. One thing I have never felt the need to do is to slag a player off during a game, we have far too many of those at our place, and yes I know you're not that way inclined.
We can't reasonably give Bodin 6 years to come good, that's simply too much time. He needs to re-find his loanee form this season or risk being sold for scrap. No one falls out of form for two years, certainly not anyone who survives to tell the tale.
Yes Dave, that's true, however Stevens NEVER had it, whereas we know Billy does. He is, one would imagine, on a better wage than Stevens and so we can't wait as long for him to come good surely? If he is struggling then get rid and get another player in instead.
It's harsh, and I am a fan of Billy, but we can't have baggage when times are tough.
I feel the same about Craig - if he has no chance of playing, get rid!!
