Personally, I don't think Luke Prosser was badly treated.He just wasn't good enough for L1,that's all.However,there was clearly a man-management issue with Adam Barrett,who was effectively shipped out of the side after a a bad away defeat early last season, when he said we were in a relegation scrap.Clearly, I can't comment on his performances before that game -as apart from one early season home match which I did see -I listened to the rest on BBC Essex.Frankly, I was suprised AB hadn't retired at the end of the previous season, though apparently PB had asked him to continue.However, performances/results at the back certainly did improve after AB was dropped and Anton Ferdinand was brought into the side last season.We were in the bottom 3 at the time and eventually finished 7th.Not that that in any way, excuses the manner in which AB was subsequently treated.It's a safe bet he'll come back to the club one day,in some capacity, after the Phil Brown era has ended.
The other player you mentioned was John White.Nobody would question that he's been outstanding when called upon this season.However,the point is that he's not first choice at RB or CH. The reality is that he's on a one year deal and will probably be let go at the end of the season.I certainly haven't heard JW complain to the media about his treatment by the manager.
