B & F's can be a popularity poll for the coaches favorites...

It's an award that gives a good indication of those players who consistently perform to game plans and instructions we supporters are not necessarily privvy too.
If players don't do the jobs they're asked to do they wont get votes.
...and yep there will be some bias involved for favourites who do make sacrifices for greater team good.
If we want a 'Who pleases the supporters most' award we need to get supporters voting on it.

"Let Murphy go, in order to give the kids a go"
Remember what happenned at the start of '19 when Bolton played all the kids in the middle - we got smashed. Teague has even been lambasted as a 1 trick pony, because all he has done is to play Curnow and Murphy on the ball and that is what has turned this around.
Yes, he cant tackle anymore. Yes he butchers the ball more often than he should as a bloke with elite skills. Yes, he has slowed down a touch.
But, he is still best 22. Still provides polish that we sorely lack. His ability to kick a goal out of nothing, or to be a crucial link in a centre clearance that actually leads to something, or to be clean when others are fumbly are what we desperately need.
Yes, throwing all the kids into the middle when they weren't ready has hurt their confidence, hence development. It was the same when we used Weitering the wrong way. His football went way backwards, having supporting doubting him. Fortunately he got back to the point where he should be AA tonight.

We’re talking about Murphy, right? Marc Murphy? As in, Marc with a ‘c’?
