Post match rowett said there isn't much difference in the performances of cuco and Edward's so he went with cuco. I tend to agree but if there isn't much difference between them then surely you favour the player you own. Edwards is 19 and could improve. Cuco is crap and will never get better than he is now. Correct Dave. It could be very poetic that a useless right back, signed unnecessarily and used as a pawn in a pathetic battle with the fans over a youth teamer that ultimately causes his downfall.

How many times does he bottle trying to nick a yard and whip a cross in only to do the same short pass to Allen, who’s running towards him from a central position with his back to goal. It was really getting on my nerves,

One can cross the ball the other can't. One can run the other one jogs.

The irony here of course is that we have the archetypal Coates British manager signing a nothing Curaçao international who's depriving a local Stoke City Academy developerd England U19 international a pathway to regular first team football.
What a shambles.

Let's suppose that there's nothing between Martina and Edwards in terms of ability. I would disagree with that assertion from the outset because I think Edwards is much better, but let's just take it as a given for a moment.
Why would you not play and develop your young starlet, who will improve with game time and be our player next year, rather than giving minutes to some other club's asset who we will only have for a few more months?

The Edwards vs Martina scenario indicates Rowett’s failure as a manager in a nutshell.

You wouldn't play the youngster, with development potential, if you were a clown.

Also, I can understand that he might put Pieters on the bench ahead of Edwards due to his seniority, but why do that when he ended up putting McLean at full back? Pieters is still carrying an injury surely? Bruno is what he is (a CB playing at LB) and does OK, but offers nothing going forward (although he did win that penalty I suppose). As for Martina today (and pretty much all of his games), he's an embarrassment. I don't think he has a brain (footballing or otherwise). I think he needs direction and a rocket. I don't think I've ever seen him sprint.

... and still our best player in this position isn't even considered an option for this manager! Good he could bring in such a "talented player" like Martina then!
