Missing the point completely, I'll spell it out for you as you seem a bit dim.
Your original post said that if Dorrington (a 19 years old defender who is only recently back from a bad knee injury) couldn't get in this team with all the injuries he " might as well leave", he may just not be ready yet as king probably wasn't ready while wasters like Perry and Gardner were playing in his position.
Although probably not ready to play premier league football Dorrington could still play a role for us in the future when he develops more or maybe we should just throw him out in the gutter because he is not instantly a world beater at 19??

I believe that if Dorrington was not considered at CB when every first team CB was injured, with Ange starting Bissouma ahead of him, then Dorrington should consider a move elsewhere. And I stand bny that. Note that Dorrington is fully fit and made his first team debut two weeks ago. It became a moot point anyway as Dragusin was fit enough to start. However, there was no need to resort to insults just because you disagree with my opinion. I hope you are OK and not having a tough time with life at the moment.

And you still totally miss my point about your example of Ledley King not being the best comparison. Chris Perry and Anthony Gardenr started ahead of King as they were older and more experienced in that position and King's minutes were being managed to introduce him so he could continue his development. That is the same as Davies and Dragusin being ahead of Dorrington at the moment whilst Dorrignton develops further. Which I agree with. But your example does not consider the injury crisis we are currently in the middle of. If Perry and Gardner were both injured, along with all other CBs at the club), King would have started ahead of someone like Allan Nielsen (I am picking a random CM from back then that I consider would have been as crap a CB as Bissouma would), and if not King, in my opinion, should also have looked elsewhere.

I don’t see the problem with this , maybe if they were all put before a game on the lash and we lost I’d feel different but the players have been playing a game every 3 days last few months - Hopefully with Ange giving them a few days off they can mentally recover as well as physically and come back raring to go versus the barcodes

Did I resort to insults? Calling someone a bit dim? Hardly the worst your likey to hear.
I'm perfectly fine with life at the moment, thanks for asking, I hope you are too?
