@BuddJacket@SadClubCommish I didn’t say Petey didn’t deserve any of the blame. You are mischaracterizing my argument. I’m saying he doesn’t deserve ALL of the blame.
Theres a new environment and all of a sudden he’s playing better. Hence the environment must have had an effect. It’s not rocket science.
@BuddJacket@SadClubCommish Or maybe the environment around Petey was so bad that he was unable to flourish. Team mates calling him a baby, coaches trying to reprogram him. Absolutely no support.
Maybe it wasn’t all Peteys fault. Maybe some people owe him an apology.
Of course Brough is allowed to criticize Petey. Just like I’m allowed to criticize Brough.
And it went deeper than “he’s playing bad”. It was more “this guy is a primadona whose existence grifts on those around him and I want him off this team at all costs”
Even with his resurgence this year Brough makes sure to point out the lack of 5 on 5 success. He cuts Petey down every chance he gets.
