It seems you are just not listening, or don't want to listen to people on this forum who know what is going on. I'm like the third person to mention this now that there was nobody else available! The players that would have played, were hurt, or recovering from "knocks". The players that stayed home were hurt. Our other players, starters, were hurt.
Have I mentioned that our players were hurt, and all Vanney could do was play who he did that night you mention?
