Everyone is entitled to their own opinion... i agree that whether a player is available or not is irrelevant as Parky will pick the team from those available to him... however, from a personal point of view (and maybe some other fans too) it would be nice to know what's actually wrong with the likes of Smith, Kosylo, & Mooney amongst others...
Especially Smith & Kosylo who's attributes we especially miss... Smith is the heartbeat of the team & him along with Senior & Colclough are probably the ones in contention for Player of the Season (imho)...
It is not the end of the world not knowing this info and wont change the team Parky sends out, but i would personally like to know is Smith (for example) will be back next game or out for a while or even all season...
I personally think fans of teams at all levels & in all sports would rather know what's going on with players of teams they support (from conversations with mates over the years)... again only a personal view & it's upto the Management if they wish to disclose such information... i wont loose sleep over not knowing this info... life goes on... and Alty will put XI out on Saturday whatever happens...
