Trust takes time to build & little to lose... Tracey missed the off season & needed time to prove his wares... it happens across all sports where someone finally loses their position that was in question after suffering an injury & giving an alternative the opportunity to shine.
I think it was a case of hedging bets…
Tracey had a calf strain so I think it was partially to protect him while also taking the opportunity to see what Critta could possibly do from FB..
