Think it's time club clarified the situation with Karl, he's obviously out of favour but would undoubtedly have made a difference today so club whats the word ? Please don't come out with the old chestnut " that the club in  not allowed to say anything ."

I know the lad and he has done nothing other than question the coaches tactics in training

Nothing wrong with that, if you don't agree with someone's actions / game plan then it's only reasonable to ask for clarification. If someone's spat the dummy because of the questions then unfortunately this is a reflection on the individual  and is obviously a detriment to the team and how it performs. I'm sure Karl would have made a difference today - even maybe a match winner, but the result is what it is. I hope the individuals in question can sort out their differences to the betterment of the club.

Please remember KO has 'form' and lots of it.

he' s a good player, but let's not start questioning out coach for the sake of justifying what's probably KO's attitude or problem..

The guys only class if he's training, fit, and on the field commited to the cause.

If he;s not all of those he's not worth a place in the team,

Why do the club need to clarify anything? He isn't being picked, just like others haven't and aren't.  I am personally more concerned why we insist on picking a winger on the bench instead of a forward.  Especially when 2 big props are out injured.

As much as i rate Karl if he's not getting used by us then its a no brainer to do a straight swap for callum phillips who i believe wants out of town .

Apparently both coach's spoke about this and agreed but not sure if it was Town or Haven board said no, also not sure if K Os was aware of this when both coach's initially spoke to each other about it,

Bu why would Town want him?  I thought he ended up @ haven because he became a liability at town for same said attitude problems?
