Perhaps Farke has contributed to his own downfall by unreasonably snubbing players

There always seems to be a presumption that Todd must have deserved to be banished to the U23s? But what if he didn't. What if its all been some kind of huge overreaction to a fairly minor incident that should have been dealt with better?

There may be players there who think Todd has been harshly treated. There may also be players there who think Gilmour, Tzolis and Sorensen could and should have featured more.

Truth is we don;t know but I don;t see why it is automatically assumed Farke was in the right, he's not advserse to a lie or two and has some history when it comes to freezing players out.

        Its an easy early win for him to bring Todd back in. And Gilmour. (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 15, 12:28:58
