I was about to say the same thing. Saunders expected Copps to be gone before the Walsall game and so he prepared the team as if he wasn't going to be here. That, to me, is sensible management. There is then the old adage of don't change a winning team. Could we blame Saunders for that as well? I don't think so. He is not being disrespectful, just practical.We were discussing Copps last night and we were saying that, as much as we'd love him to stay on, his wage is blocking the club moving to add the strength in depth that we will undoubtedly need as we move through the season. A simple one being the addition of Weaver as goalkeeper. Last nights Jekyll and Hyde performnace from Woods should pay testament to that!It's a rock and a hard place right now. But for the longer term good of the club, perhaps he does need to move on? And I never thought I would EVER say that of him!
Sorry Copps or Cotterill I know which one I would put in,apart from the goal, he does not provide the guile or crossing ability of player half Copps ability.
It's not about sentiment it's about results. Our two wingers have been superb so far, can't fault Saunders there. Harper also made a good impact in midfield last night. Saunders got it right, that may annoy some of you, but he did.
