Exactly. 100%
maybe he had a stomach problem.
He remained a regular until Doncaster away, sat on the bench for the visit of Barnsley and wasn't in the squad for the last four games.

For the handful of games I saw last term I made him our best player. I think he's had a stomach problem.
Saw a tweet earlier (haven't checked the stats as I can't be arsed and I'm not a know-it-all), but he was an unused substitute in 3 games before being left out completely?

Burnley are looking for a centre half, they are interested in Craig Dawson. Robert Huth is also a possible for them as well.

Apart from Bournemouth at home (8 Feb, when he came on before the hour), Medo started every Bolton game from 25 Jan (Cardiff, home, FA Cup) to 8 Apr (Doncaster away) - a run of 15 starts in 16 games.

Straight after Donny he was an unused sub at home to Barnsley, then wasn't in the matchday 18 for the final four games.

So he was definitely either injured or ostracised, to taste.

We should burn some people on the strength of this. Powerful stuff.

Can't make my mind up about Medo tbh. I don't think he's as good as Spearing's first season, but I have him a country mile in front of Trotter at the moment.

If there was a prize for hitting the woodwork, he's a clear leader.

Could it not have just been a matter of resting him and/or giving fringe players a few games as there was nothing left to play for at that point of the season?

He might have been held by Al-Shabaab for all anyone on here actually knows. In fact, yes, I'm going with that! :)

Yeah same. I'm guessing first time round (at the start of the season) he was dropped it was because clearly he and Spearing together wasn't working, and a) I think DF was hoping Spearing would play himself back into the form of last year when IMO he was better than I've seen Medo, and b) it's always easier to drop the .5m man than the £howevermuchmore Spearing cost. Though the first of these is the only one that's a proper reason.

That doesn't suit my conspiracy theory at all.

I am still undecided on Medo, he hasn't been consistent enough for me.
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.

We've signed no-one for almost 3 weeks now. It's a shite thread this.

Going off recent reports, we seem to be trying to offload before we bring anybody else in. Andrews and Sordell being the obvious two.

That's going to take a while. I'd imagine there is quite a queue.

Huddersfield want Andrews but wages are proving a problem. Nobody seems to want Sordell. I think Bournemouth were linked towards the end of last season.

I would add Chungy and possibly Wheater to that list as neither are guaranteed first team football but would demand a fee.

I sure wouldn't off load Chungy if we can possibly keep him.
