Agree with most of your post Oldgobbin (especially the Ilyas stuff) but a few things stick out.

Even Fergie rests players if they have midweek games. The fact is our team have looked knackered lately and commonsense makes one think that players who are knackered need a rest! Perhaps it only makes sense in the head of football genii to continue to field unfit players.

It happens at every club. A young player makes it through the ranks, looks exciting in cameo appearances; the fans love him. It'll wear off and he'll have to work his socks off to gain a regular place in the team. In my opinion he needs to become more of a team player to warrant a run in the team (he always looks to be out in the wilderness when brought on?).

Paul has done his job for us and, rightly in my opinion, moved on. Towards the end, he just wasn’t good enough, as Symes has so clearly shown for the majority of this season.

Little unfair with the jibe on people noting PM's goal for Morecambe. I don't think anyone stated that we should have him back. Some just like to look out for old players; where they are/how they're doing. I also saw David Brown and Andy Mangan scored and was happy for them, but wouldn't have either back here. Paul's a legend and it's nice to see him doing well.
