We do at least have other central defenders and both Horton and King can play there at a push with Sheckleford at full back.
Why would one of our players react in that way? He can't have been drunk. I can't imagine Hallam Hope approached him in a lewd gay manner. So those defences are out.
Why would Hope delay in having the matter reported? If he didn't want it reporting, why not? We know he was certainly the loser. He ended up in hospital. But being the loser doesn't actually mean you were attacked does it? But if he started something against one of our central defenders, how could he have expected it to end? He might have come out on top against Salts and his two moggies, but not against any of our centre backs by the look of them. And if our bloke started it just how little oil does he have in his lamp - oh right I'll risk my whole career in a car park in Oldham ........ When you think about it do we even really know when it happened, or where? Did anyone see Hallam Hope after that time? Was he injured then, or is this a story he made up to cover an incident on Saturday night which would get him the sack from Oldham? We actually don't KNOW anything much. Isn't there CCTV in Oldham's car park? If there is, case closed. Even the police should be able to detect that one.
