Who are the senior players? 13:52 - Sep 19 with 2552 viewsJ2BLUE

I keep seeing the senior players mentioned but who are they? Give us specific names rather than a collective.

To me the active senior players in the squad are:

Chambers - Passionately celebrated the equaliser. Made a point of criticising the match performances as not being as good as training performances
Skuse - Hurst seems to like him a lot. Skuse has been in the game long enough to know the last five years of stability under MM is not the norm and change is inevitable
Knudsen - Wants a new deal
Bart - MM took the same 'two equal keepers' stance for the majority of his reign.
Gerken - Probably not going to have a problem with Hurst
Spence - He's getting chances and got a vote of confidence when PH sent Emmanuel out on loan.

So lets have it from the increasing number of people in the know who keep mentioning the senior players, who is unhappy?

Truly impaired.

Chambers is clearly very unhappy you can tell by how he's been speaking.

Knudsen has had various pops since Hurst has arrived.

Skuse referred to assistant not by name. Possible undertone.

Bart - if dropped infront of squad as many on here claim on the day of the game, isn't going to be thrilled.

Gerken - will be pleased to get his chance.

Sears - no longer in the 18 so potentially not thrilled either.

Spence - Should be happy enough to be playing.

As per my comment earlier elsewhere - it's illogical to think that there would be uproar amongst the senior players for Hurst giving a senior player a start in the team.

Don't quite see why Chambers should be unhappy - confirmed Captain, always picked, praised by Hurst.

Altho if he used to have more input under McCarthy (and was formally included in the caretaker setup), that might lead him to chafe. Perhaps he doesn't get on with the new lads. Or it could just be a personality clash.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

Watch his interviews.

It's quite apparent he's livid with something that goes deeper than the obvious.

He's not a happy bunny at all right now.

Does that unhappiness go deeper than Hurst? Is it rooted in the treatment of McCarthy, lack of appreciation for the team's efforts, the break-up of a tight-knit, friendly squad?

I reckon he's annoyed at not winning a game yet.

Something quite telling though was during his Hull interview, "Mistakes are found out in this division".

We’ve been in this league long enough to know that’s true, how is that in any way a big statement or proof of unrest?

Pretty much your list from what I heard, certainly Chambers, Skuse and Bart. Notably some senior non playing staff are peeved too. Apparently there's been 'pressure' applied to ME to intervene.

I've been told any talk of PH getting the boot is premature and 'highly unlikely' at the moment so not sure what all the fuss and flouncing is about. Hopefully any issues people have can be discussed and resolved like adults and we can focus on the football, starting with 3 points on Saturday.

Yeah like Downes and Spence at Hull. How can you think that's directly aimed at management?
