Is this 'doghouse' stuff something that we should be concerned about? Cus I was thinking he definately looked better in his 20 minutes than most of them. You would like to think "clean slate" wouldn't you? I know a lot of the players were upset at the departure, but the ones who felt their faces didn't fit won't be among them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how young players get bullshit reputations. There is no ‘doghouse’ situation with Marlee or Omar (albeit he didn’t cover himself in glory preseason - and that was on pitch too). Form, or lack there of, that’s it. And OTC has been injured for a while on top of that. ‘Fans’ need to be more conscious of rumour mongering particularly with young players trying to forge a career. It’s ridiculous and not fair on the individuals concerned. 3 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if Mattie moved on in January anyway. He came because of Nige. Andy King, lifelong City fan so he may hang around till summer.

So (just based on his 20 minute cameo today admittedly) I hope we'll be hearing a bit more about Marlee in the coming weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem he was the one that was questioned "from above" about being in the team instead of a youngster, so maybe an issue there that means he leaves ?

The stupidity of questioning the value of a Premier league winning midfielder in a team of kids shows where we are as a club. We are in the brown stuff make no mistake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very respected among the players as you would expect a Premiership winner to be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
