To be fair before his first injury I think he was in his best form for us (after a weird in and out start to the campaign), 4 goals and 2 assists in 7 games at one point. Then we didn't see him for about 3 months, he came back and wasn't playing badly, just not up to the standard earlier in the season. I don't think at any point this season He's been playing like someone who doesn't want to be here. 

I've no doubt they've got absolutely zero interest in protection the competition, or the lower leagues, but I've always hated replays so it doesn't bother me particularly. I know I'm an outlier with that, but I've never liked the financial argument as it always seem to be  about keeling clubs afloat when they wouldn't be able to without it, which I don't think is healthy, and it certainly doesn't help smaller clubs in a sporting sense. I'm more annoyed about the FA Cup final continuing to be played before the end of the league season, that's really diminishing it.

They've strengthened the format by removing replays.  Yeah right.  I suppose it's better than saying that the game in this country is run for the benefit of half a dozen clubs, who incidentally, would drop being part of football in this country in a microsecond if it suited them financially to do so - hence the clubs who were supporting the Super League not long ago, and still do support it whatever they might say publicly.

Hednesford swapped to play their tie here rather than at home.

If he's got issues off the pitch then it puts some of this season into a bit of perspective I'd say.  I know his body language has been mentioned a few times.  If he's having a rough time of it outside football then it stands to reason we wouldn't be seeing the best of him regardless of the injuries.
