If he finally drops Trafford next week, then stay. ( How many games has he cost us now?) If he doesn't, then go because if he believes Trafford will EVER make a goalkeeper, then he's sadly deluded.
That’ll be a go then as he will never drop Trafford!

And I don’t think he worked hard before.
Agree which makes it even more mystifying why he’s picked each week. A luxury a team at the bottom can’t afford.
