what happened to him? broke into the first team and didn't do too badly in my opinion. why does he now never even make the squad?

Jenkins seems to be the preferred option of late.  King seems to have forgotten him slightly, which he tends to do with the yuffs that break into the side.

Don't recall exactly, but didn't he have a bit of a dodgy game and was unceremoniously dropped the following game and ever since? King tends to panic when that happens.

I had mixed feelings about Garrard - always looked better going forward than back, and was prone to mistakes, perhaps he modelled himself on Duke?

Jenkins is a solid pro at right back - the sort of player we need right now, not youths, but now the season is drawing to a close perhaps he'll get another a runout.  I wouldn't mind seeing Jenkins in Hewlett's role as he did quite well in a similar position against Luton.

Am rather worried about all these fallout theories with King - however, I somehow am disbelieving that a player of Garrard or Taylor's calibre would fallout with King over not being selected.  If that is the case, then I would suggest these players have the wrong attitude.

I speak to luke every now and then and his attitude seems to be spot on to me. He's really annoyed he got dropped frm the squad after he thought he had done okay but he's accepted it and hes now working harder to get back into the squad. But as walrus said, hes got to try and beat Jenkins for position and thats hard.

He had a mixed period in the side for me, some good, some bad.

I think he'll make a decent, if unspectacular player in a couple of seasons time

I think that when Jenks goes/retires this will be the case.

Garrard didn't do anything too special, but he didn't make huge mistakes a la Dukey and Ifil.  Harsh to be dumped out of the squad, but that's Kingy for you.
