Any number of reasons. Perhaps being able to park next to the stadium is one of them! As for all the nonsense about the east stand, isn't that exactly where all the players complimentary tickets are?

Why not take your mate with you early on? Or make him get a cab? Or go with others friends / family? Player or not it is a nightmare to get back into the ground with the traffic surely. Also didn’t someone say Hughton tells players who is in the squad on the Friday ? So why travel to the ground early?

Silly old bat
I believe the players have breakfast/lunch together on a match day.

The first part was an assumption my friend. The comments with regards to Leicester are fact.
Whether you believe me or not is your choice.

Yes it is for their friends and family I think. The other players normally sit behind the dugout. So I’d say fact rather than ‘nonsense.’ Of course there could be a number of reasons but I’m a bit sceptical tbh - even if he knew he wasn’t playing he surely would have just bought his mates along with him rather than going off in heavy traffic a couple of hours before KO. Just playing devils advocat.
Why don't you get a life?
You know for a fact his friends were already at his house when he left for the ground? Any number of reasons but people like you will just keep looking for conspiracy.

I agree with your comments but many won’t. Nobody knows anything apart from he did leave and came back but not like we’ll ever know...
We’re both posting on an Internet forum on a Saturday night sooo...
Either way love Knockaert but for me he has been frustrating and not lived up to the level he should have. Coupled with weird incidents today and murmurings at Huddersfield something isn’t right and I hope it’s sorted.

Rosenior didn't play for the U23s last night, unlike Maenpaa and Skalak. Almost as if he would be in the 18 today...
Obviously the Soothsayer who picked the team yesterday had already forseen AK's "strop".
Christ almighty.

That’s right because Rosenior has featured heavily in the Under 23’s this season hasn’t he.
Or because Rosenior was the 19th man? As he has been a lot this season

Yeah, he's an Albion contracted player that didn't play today. Other than that, we lost 0-4... anything else worth reporting? Trump is still an ********?

So Rosenior was parachuted into the 18 at the last minute because AK "stropped" ?That’s right because Rosenior has featured heavily in the Under 23’s this season hasn’t he.
"Luckily" for Liam he wasn't even in the 18 for U23s on Friday night.
Strewth. Massive luck for the albion that they selected Maenpaa and Skalak and thought Liam wasn't worth a place yesterday.. and then the Football Gods suddenly gave LR a place in the 18 today.
No chance that LR's selelection wasn't planned yesterday.

You do realise we have a matchday squad in excess of 16 for every game Home and Away, Liam Rosenior has featured in that group as posted by someone else above. He was never going to play for the under 23’s last night, the same as Bruno and Bong.
Stop digging mate.

At the end of the day he was no loss today and we looked a better team without him today

Rise to the challenge.
I use to be half decent at tennis and cricket. When I played against people who I comfortably beat it was fun. When I played against people of similar ability it was great. When I played against people who were better than me I learned and improved.
I never got any better through continuous winning.
.
That said there are a few footballers who are absolute FREAKS.
.

And 3 of them play for Manchester City.

Yes, I realise that.
I also realise that LR's selection in the 18 today was planned yesterday, and not as an emergency selection today.
