Don't wait for me!

If he refused to play why on earth was he on the bench
In other words Im pretty certain he didn't refuse to play, but Hewton thought he may be distracted with all the transfer speculation so held him back. Seems logical to me.

He didn't play last night because he was concerned that someone had stolen his car. Has he got it back yet?
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
And the safe.
Well lets hope we sign a couple of steady central defenders before the transfer window closes then.....

If we assume he isnt refusing to play then that means that Hughton thinks his head isnt right just yet or he wants to sell. If we didn't want to sell then it would make sense to play him as the only reason not to would be to avoid injury so we could sell him. If we want to keep him and he picks up an injury then assuming its not a serious one that sort of helps us by keeping the chasers at bay.

Going to Palace for £3mil plus we're getting G. **** Murray back...
According to one of those transfer twitter accounts with 1000 followers, and looking at their previous tweets they just make stuff up and get it wrong... (we were signing Buckley 3 weeks ago according to them)

Sorry, for adding some humour to the proceedings... I'm aware of course that the other 773 posts on this thread have been extremely informative and entertaining

If he refused to play why on earth was he on the bench
For somebody who is allegedly sulking, he put a lot of effort into warming up at Huddersfield. He also went out of his way to collect the loose balls for Nathan Jones, being the last one to leave the pitch before the game.
It would seem quite logical for him to have asked not to play against Southend - if there is talk of him going, he might reasonably prefer not to be cup-tied. That would be a whole lot different to actually refusing to play, though.
I prefer to carry on thinking of him as a good guy who wouldn't do that, at least until I see incontrovertible confirmation otherwise.
Here is a story about him refusing to play against Southend: http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/08/2...linked-lewis-dunk-for-missing-cup-clash-wit/?

I'm fairly sure their sources include, and are probably limited to, this thread.
Pete O'Rourke is the man behind HITC and he usually is the first to break BHA news so seems to have sources close to the club.

Unforgivable if true.

He is, but no, he doesn't.
If it's true, it was the Southend game, then he didn't want to be cup tied. Hughton isn't too put out about it, as he's kept him in the squad.

This. Hugely disappointing behaviour from a local lad and utterly disrespectful to a club that stood by him during personal troubles.
If true he can piss off to Fulham or anywhere else that wants him. I'll pay his train fare.
