Matt Taylor says Tom Flanagan has been very ‘professional’ since being left out of the team – saying the defender has a big part still to play this season.
The former Sunderland man made 38 appearances for Shrewsbury Town in League One last time out, but despite an impressive start to the new campaign playing in the middle of Town’s back three, he has found himself out of the team just five games in.
Competition for the three places at the heart of Town’s defence has been high so far this season and the Town boss has said since being left out of the starting XI Flanagan has been very respectful.“It is the hardest part, having been a player myself and having been left out of squads and teams it is difficult.“Was it really difficult to take him out of the team... yes. But sometimes it is an unfortunate part of the job but you can only pick 11 players so it is very difficult.
Injuries will be part of the journey as well as is the way with football, so Flanagan is bound to get his chance to regain his place at some point in the near future, which is something Taylor confirmed.
