Plus, as his state of mind erodes the performances get even more erratic - which just feeds into the abuse he gets & a downward spiral.

I honestly fear for his mental wellbeing, and I hope he gets all the support he needs.

I'm seeing that as well.

One round to the bye and he couldn't make it. 4 weeks looks to be the suspension. He urgently needs time off football and now it will be an enforced lay-off.

Thing is, if we (the whole league community - fans, media, administration/coaching) are serious about the mental health causes we endorse, we need to "walk the talk" and look after one of our own.

This is OUR test - and some sections of the league community are ALREADY failing.

It can handled easily by the club sitting him out if they think he needs it.

It's irrelevant now. He will probably get 4 weeks off.

If he didn't do things like try to take Manu's head off or the pathetic elbow yesterday he wouldn't have a care in the world. The shit he cops is 100% on him
It's classic self-sabotage behavior.

He needs to confront the underlying issue here, and we need to give him the opportunity & resources (time, counseling, mentoring) to do that.

Some people on here are actually celebrating the abuse he gets on social media. We've failed badly.

He's over-rated, not because he's a lousy player but because he lacks consistency in his performances.

On a good day, playing to his potential he lives up to the billing.. BUT - and it's the mental factor at play here - he doesn't consistently put in great performances.. and the gap between his best & worst is huge.

Plus, as his state of mind erodes the performances get even more erratic - which just feeds into the abuse he gets & a downward spiral.

I honestly fear for his mental wellbeing, and I hope he gets all the support he needs.
Or he could show some heart and have a crack.

Oh please, what about him taking some personal responsibility?
