Has George Greene gone AWOL? He was missing from the Sutton squad, no explaination, he was missing from the Darlington squad, no explaination. In between we have a surprise signing[Woolford] of a supposedly attacking midfielder. 2+2=4? I am half-expecting an announcement that his contract has been "terminated by mutual consent". I really hope I'm wrong.

Why does there need to be an announcement every time a player doesn't make the first XI or bench?

Well there doesn't really, but it helps avoid speculation on Twitter or forums if fans know why players aren't making the squad. Last I'd heard he was injured, but the silence since does sound kinda ominous.

I think his lack of versatility doesn't help him. He's an attacking midfielder, and we're playing 4-4-2. He doesn't fit in with CE's tactics currently.

I think he could have a role in a 4-4-1-1 in away games, but that would mean dropping either Thewlis or Knowles, or seeing Thewlis go to a winger role (not ideal).

I would agree that he doesn't really feel a natural fit for an Elliott side, which does rather beg the question - why on earth did we sign him then? I was hoping we'd perhaps learned our lesson re. tactical misfits after the Nathan Arnold debacle...
