Don't you think I was also watching for a flicker of the eyelids and facial expression as he answered the question? He seemed genuinely surprised that it should be a question he was asked. Either that or he's a good actor.
He also told me he was training today (Tues) and not playing at Bognor because he hoped to be fit for Swindon (on Saturday) so there wasn't any question of him playing in the reserves tonight.
I don't have to be an oracle. I just ask straight questions, get answers and don't need anyone's approval.
It's a weird one this fans asking players questions. Some fans seem to take what they say as gospel, others tend to think it is possible to read between the lines.
