After weeks of completely crap performances, City fans realised what the real problem is with Dennis Wise yesterday as Bassett announced the midfielder had been injured since before Christmas.

So maybe our fury should be vented at Bassett for perservering with an obviously unfit player, probably doing him more harm than good and beinga liability for the team? It was Bassett's call though, and maybe he got it wrong. We all make mistakes.

Wise meanwhile, who has a serious thing injury, will most likely miss Saturday's game against Newcastle, and there has even been talk of him facing a long lay off or operation.

With Matt Jones and Stef Oakes available for selection, Bassett must decide if he will replace Wise with either of them. City fans have been frustrated with Bassett for not giving Jonesy a chance.

Bassett labelled Jones unfit before Christmas, and overweight.

Will he give Matt a chance to prove himself at last? Here's what he said yesterday...

"Matt has been working very hard in training.

"I think he has taken what I said on board.

"We are still waiting to hear about the result of the scan on Dennis' thigh. He's had the problem for a while and we are keen to sort it out and we hope to hear something from the specialist tomorrow.

"If Dennis doesn't make it, that will leave me with a decision to make and Matt might come into the reckoning."
