I agree if his form deserves it. If it doesnt he gets dropped like every player should be. At the moment he is on one game for a pass. Not a high pass but a pass so he has at least 2 games to go before he could be considered to be dropped. One is against WCE who will probably beat us but at least we should give the forwards some more chances.
We need to give players like Tommy Lee an extended run in the first team, if for no other reason than giving the selection panel something to assess. I agree with you Plugger66, form should be the criteria, on the other hand; R Stanley has had a fair run in the side without showing great form (IMHO) so on that criterion, Tom Lee should get a fair go.

By dropping Siposs our coach has shown that if a player is missing certain aspects of his game he will be dropped. Most thought Siposs unlucky but its my guess he was dropped because he doesnt put any forward pressure on the opposition. I think that is also the main fault of Lee so he needs to work on that part of his game. I dont think any players will get constant runs in the seniors if certain parts of their game are missing. Stanley at least started the year pretty well so he may have had a couple of poor games in him before he was dropped.
