Having given this some further thought. I am now convinced not playing him against Wigan, is a no brainier. Surely his participating shouldn't necessarily assume he won't be available for the Norwich game. As in fact all he needs to do, is keep his shirt on, and be a good boy. Job done!

In an ideal World quite true, however we will both remember, in days of yore, that when one of your team (or more) got crocked you ended up being numerically disadvantaged. And worse still, sadly the game has become so mercenary you might well find players targeted, and put out of the game...
