It’s a tricky one, got to remember this is his career and we might just have to accept that he doesn’t want to play on it, as another injury like he had would more or less probably end it! We’ve got adequate cover imo, and his decision should be respected

Possibility it may be in the loan agreement that he cant play on them also?

However did RN not say midweek he may play against QOTS? Was it maybe just precautionary along with Connolly sitting it out with a slight thigh issue?

Neilson left it up to Reynolds if he wanted to play.

He declined.
 

 
I’d like to think our strongest team would play every week, especially in a crucial game in the play-offs, however what are his reasons for declining?
I’m guessing he’s had medical advice that playing on that type of surface could make his injury flare up again, in which case he’s absolutely right to take no chances.
This is why I’m so against fake pitches, it limits certain players ability to play for medical reasons and that is wrong.

I have no problems with Reynolds not being risked on these plastic pitches as it would not be fair on the player to take a risk by playing on a surface that could cause a career ending injury or worse health issues that go on beyond his playing days.

The problem that I have is with the plastic pitches and would prefer to see them scrapped with proper grass surfaces instead, it seems that those teams with them gain a degree of advantage with them especially against teams who have to adapt their line up to cope with players being left out due to being unable to play on such surfaces.

As I said on the QOS thread both leagues should have grass as mandatory.
There's a clear advantage to the teams using plastic, time for change.
