    Hope not. I'm not doing a 5 hour round trip with work in the morning to see a bunch of kids running around

    He's in peter pan - wendy - hook- (what was the dog's name) situation mode, think's he can do better or has been told where to go.

    they'll be on the bench probably. we have more than enough squad members who need game time before the kids come on

    Hopefully be a few nice surprises in the next couple of weeks but reckon we'll end up doing most of our remaining business at the end of August.

    I get the impression from what AN has said about the broadhead situation is that if a player doesn't think he's got enough belief in himself that he's good enough to get starts in the first team just because the front 2 on Saturday both had great games then he's not the right fit for the club.

    I can see them playing with a view to getting them loan deals for the season.
    Cant see this comp being a priority and Sheff Wed seem to be struggling for numbers a little bit from what I read at the weekend

    Aye. Am guessing it will be severely lacking the intensity our last game there had

    Interesting though that Alex Neil only says 'I think'. Reads as if he is assuming that is the reason, as opposed to Broadhead has told him that is the case. He could be putting 2 and 2 together and assuming he is getting 4, and maybe he is right. It is plausible though that something else has changed Broadheads decision. I suggested earlier about the influence international managers can have on players in world cup years.

    As for the belief in himself, attitude etc being an issue I just dont buy it for one minute. He was at the club last year, Alex Neil worked with him, as did the coaches and hierarchy. Plenty of time to get to know all about his character and attitude and self-belief. They clearly thought everything was good enough to pursue a perm deal all summer. Now it seems because he has chosen another club he doesnt have the right attitide or self-belief. Not for me I am afraid. We all wanted him here, in my case a lot, but just because he has turned us down doesnt mean the conspiracy theories, and suggestions about his mentality, are the way to go...

    We want battlers not bottlers, wish him all the best but by god he could live to regret his decision. I am more concerned about a mobile midfielder and right-back if I am honest.

    There was a comment made by Alex Neil last season where he was asked if Broadhead was fit to play. His answer was something along the lines of “he thinks he can give us 30 minutes. Typical Broady” or words to that effect.
    I think that shows there have been doubts about his mindset, overprotecting himself rather than giving it a go which have been present for a while. I don’t think it’s something people are just making up.
