I've seen a few mentions suggesting that KMc not starting Ali suggests that he doesn't trust him.
Could it not necessarily be that, but that the loan deal with Bournemouth stipulates that KM must start if available and fit? |  |

No, it’s just that Moore is the better option from the start.
Although Ali is pushing for one now imo.
Regarding the first bit just link this to them…

I mentioned the trust thing as KM said he'd earned his trust only a couple days ago. Yet we saw an unfit moore selected against 2 stocky cbs.
You either trust a player or not. So KM rather shot himself in the foot with that comment imo. |  |

Based on the last two matches, I'm not sure that Moore is the best option from the start. Especially if carrying an injury. |  |

No. He said he has earnt his trust and there is no reason to disbelieve him. McKenna thought it would be better to start with Moore. Nothing to do with trust, just the manager making a choice of who is best to play against the team we play that day.
McKenna has got us to second in the league with 5 to go. I certainly am not going to call him out on any of his decisions since becoming manager of our great club. |  |

No ones calling him out Mk. You're getting sensitive to posters today. But imo if you one minute say you trust a player then you show that trust. Not selecting him to start was a lack of trust esp when moore hadn't even trained 2 days ago. You also saw a massive bruise on his back in the pre match warm up he wasn't ready and wasn't the right choice against their 2 stocky cbs. | |

I just don't like anybody (not just you) questioning our manager. If we were fighting relegation and our manager wasn't prepared for changing the line up, then I would be saying so on here.
We are second in the league in our first season back in the Championship with a squad which many (me included) thought would get us top half at best.
Today hurts more than any other, of course it does, but suggesting the manager doesn't trust his players is just an over reaction for me.
This isn't because it is you, I would say the same to anyone who questions McKenna at this point. I am not saying McKenna should never be criticised in the future, just not now. It is one defeat, hard to take, but one defeat. | |

I wasnt suggesting he doesn't trust his players overall. It's just one specific situation mentioned and the selection doesn't match the words spoken only days ago.
It's done now tho and we can't change it. But today's selection for me was a bit Southgate like. But it's the only time I've thought it. | |

Al Hamadi has a groin injury that needs surgery. I don't expect him to play 90 minutes for the rest of the season. Better to start Moore and bring Al Hamadi on that vice versa. |  |

Yea Ali has a injury which needs a operation in the summer hence why a hour is enough.
We have no option but to play Moore at present. | | | |

The selection had nothing to do with the words he said a few days ago. It had nothing to do with not trusting a player. Our manager thought it would be best to start with one player over another. Nothing to do with trust, which is what you are suggesting. | |

If Al Hamadi started he likely would only play 60 mins. | |

Think it’s more that Al-Hamadi is carrying an injury grave enough that ideally he wouldn’t be playing at all. Hopefully Hirst can recover some sharpness quickly and take a little weight off soon. | |

Al-Hamadi is nursing a groin injury isn't he, that's part of it in itself
He has a long term plan for us, I think he'll be a big player for us in the long run |  |

No, you don't "either trust a player or not", it's far more nuanced than that. Moore is the more experienced striker and from a higher level. We know the drill, if he's fit enough to start he does, he bothers the opposition and then we bring on the pace and directness of Al Hamadi.
It's not a question of "trust" and KM hasn't remotely "shot himself in the foot". Careful your don't slip back into your old ways. |  |

From what I heard, Moore was never in doubt to play. It wasn't even a last minute call, he'd trained a couple of times during the week. And as you say Al-Hamadi is carrying his own injury. | | | |

I'm allowed an opinion flash. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean I'm slipping back to old ways.
Now let's leave it there because me and you responding time and time again is indeed slipping back to old ways. | |
