iWurzel Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Left the field today with a face like thunder, as soon as the whistle went. Didn't even clap the fans. Clearly not happy being benched but should show some more professionalism as a more experienced member of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I think Johnson has been right in keeping him sidelined. Clearly an ego to big for GJ to handle althought udoubted quality as a player, Remember the talk mid December of an apparent 'bust up' resulting in Hartley handing in transfer request due to his displeasure at being (in his own words) "Lee Johnsons understudy" too be fair his only contribution todday was a wayward pass which invited the pressure back on in the 94th minute so i would be to happy if my cameo appearance consisted of one touch and one (sh**) pass... To be fair to LJ he has really benefitted from his run in the team (4 games now?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% he let himself down very badly today walking off, In all honesty read the programme, he is clearly home sick and I don't blame him for that, I think it would be best all round to let him go. Iwelumo was different class and Elliott rolled the clock back two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 He is the problem. Obvious to me that he just doesn't care. You look at the players at full time, jumping about like we had won promotion with the relief of getting a win under the belt. Where was Mr Hartley? Straight up the tunnel didn't even have the decency to clap fans clapping him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedo Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 To be fair, I would be pretty p*ssed if I was Hartley, he is a far better player than Johnson and should be on the side. I don't think anyone can say Johnson is a better player than Hartley who is (for me) player of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliftonCliff Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Whatever the issue is, I sincerely hope it can be resolved, because the guy is still a very good midfield player and, whilst we've seen a big improvement over the last two games, we have a lot of work still to do and I hardly think we are so well off that we can afford not to make the most of what he's got to offer.

mindjuicer Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 It's a fair bet he's not happy being dropped and probably isn't being managed well. His family are still in Scotland I believe. His career is drawing to a close and of course he wants to go out with a bang. When he joined the club he had good reason to believe he'd be starting most games. He's been our best midfielder by a good margin too. However, that is not enough as his stamina can't cope with the demands of the Championship and no-one can really blame GJ for sticking with an unchanged team. Skuse was the weakest midfielder today but will probably play well against Ipswich. Can't drop Marv after his revival today. So Hartley will probably be on the bench Saturday.

fka dagest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 you having a laugh? Why would he be? He can have bad games - and in the first 45 mins today, he was below the required standard. For me, both Elliot and Johnson had better games.

bangers Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hartley is undoubtedly a better footballer than LJ but recently his performances have been below par, and today we were class so it will (probably) be an unchanged side for the weekend. WHile Hartley is good he is 33 and replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs3 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hartly did give a bad pass BUT them sprinted back 80yards to get a cover tackle in and make up for his mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicdaps Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 you having a laugh? I'd agree... However its a relative statement as they all played well. Skuse wasn't poor by any stretch of the imagination but LJ and ME were better. Magicdaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
