I must have missed those games where Stokes wasn't picked when fit
Yep, sorry, absolutely fair - Stokes has been remarkable for us, I dunno who I was thinking about there! But again the point stands, that makes the comparison with Reda a bit daft - if anyone's earned the right to a breather Stokes has.
In fairness to Reda, I think it's a decent move offering to meet anyone who wants to chat about it. I can see he's getting hammer for that now, but I respect that a lot more than the 'lions don't care about the opinions of the sheep' thing.
To be honest, given he's gone at the end of the season anyway, I can't see that it really matters too much what he does or says now. Write him off as a signing that looked good but went bad and move on, he won't be the first or the last...
