The evidence for either is trusting Hecky and Lester, the danger in bringing him back, is the weight of expectations, something you have proved, up until now Hecky hasn't given any thought to bringing him back, despite the obvious to any and everyone that we would be looking to offload at least 2 strikers, if a very unlikely bid came in, move on another.
That bid, hardly surprisingly hasn't come in, I would suggest that any of the remaining strikers getting injured was factored in, before yesterday's game.
