... it kind of negates the story of Bart not being told, no? |  |

The only way that could be true without doubt is if Bart & Gerks are the same person. Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen them in goal at the same time....? 🤔 |  |

*day before
Logically you are correct
But they're mates and he'd / they'd have had to have kept it from him all day. And just not train for that possible eventuality. So I smell attention-seeking fan BS | |

I can categorically, 100% confirm that Bart wasn't aware of being on the bench till the morning of the game.

I heard he wasn't told until going out for the warm-ups... is that true? |  |

that seems a bizarre way to treat one of your senior pros. Not saying he didn't deserve to be dropped - I think he did - but you have to treat him with more respect than that, surely. | |

Ok I believe you.
But he must've had a hint the day before that it might happen, so it wasn't the massive out of the blue shock last-minute dumping that previous posts gave the impression of. | |

I’d probably rather not know until the morning of the game than the night before if I was to be dropped.
As long as Gerks knew he might be playing the night before so he could prepare himself, I think that’s the most important thing.
It’s highly likely that any ‘sources’ have exaggerated the facts... in my opinion. |  | | |

You are welcome to your opinion...................but some defenders might question the fact that they weren't previously informed that they were working with a different keeper.
If you have played at my level of football then it doesn't really matter because we are effectively all a bit crap but for some reason professional footballers need a bit of warning | |

Agreed about the defenders being best to be in the loop... I didn’t know that these rumours involved that so didn’t really take it into account.
Whenever you change a ‘keeper it’s going to be a little unfamiliar for the back 4 but that’s not really a reason not to do it. Clearly better that it’s planned and worked on in training first but I’m skeptical as to whether, practically, that’s even feasible. I’m not sure there is a best time to tell someone they’re not playing... or whether you can even make the decision prior to seeing how both ‘keepers are performing in training during the week before the game.
Hopefully he’ll come back better for it. | | | |

On this instance it was nothing to do with who looked good in training, Bart had had a shocking few games by his standards and quite rightly his inclusion was in question.
Let's just say it was suggested that it might have been better if the keeper change had been worked on in training. | |

So the suggestion is that PH decided before the beginning of the week of training that Gerks was playing against Norwich but he didn’t tell any of the players and didn’t plan any sessions during the week around that decision? And it was only during the morning before the game that he communicated his decision to Bart and the team? | | | |

Why? You'd prefer turning up for the derby, thinking you're playing and then being told just before the warm ups that you're on the bench? No one could blame him if he sat there seething for the entire game. |  |

Blimey, I didn’t know this. Not surprising if a few players lost a bit of respect for him as a manager - seems strange management to me and not in keeping with the super detailed and calculating demeanour he portrays in his pressers. I can’t really think why he would do it tbh. |  |

Not sure about this calculating demeanor part.
He didn't know when Sears was fit / injured / had trained the other day. |  | | |
