Mark Duffy, seemingly popular player, has a standoff with Wilder and is subsequently shipped out, never to put the red and white stripes on again. Players probably are sad to see him go, but the players know the way Wilder does things so accept it and move on, continue to have a great season. A key point is that Duffy didn't want to leave however.
John Lundstrum, essentially does the same thing as Duffy. Won't sign a new contract yet inexplicably still gets a place in the team ahead of other hard working and loyal players. Let's remember how bang average he was in his first season (and in my opinion still is).
Surely the players must look at A) Lundstrum with distain for wanting out. Yes fair enough he is within his rights to see out his contract but leading on to point B) why is he still playing?
By no means am I saying this is the only reason but come on this must be a problem. Other guys have pointed out in another thread that Sharp and Wilder have locked horns. Maybe Billy is pissed off and quite rightly so, that a contract rebel with no future continues to get a place in the team while he can't even get into he squad.
This situation stinks and whilst I back Wilder, I am concerned he has lost the dressing room and this is one of the reasons why.
