Gus Poyet: “We’re all different and I’m sure that different managers will try different things. I played with Dennis Wise!
“He’s going to kill me for saying this but I was injured one season for three months and I played more games than Wisey because he was always suspended.
“Lee, we need him, yes, and if I could see the red card coming then we’d leave him out and give him the week off but it’s difficult to see it coming of course.
“He’s 24, let’s hope he’s more mature next month and we don’t need to wait until he’s 29 or 30. He knows more than anyone that I will do my job and the future will tell if I’ve done a good enough job. I can’t give up on him. If I give up, he shouldn’t be here.”
