Frail warning for Jose
by Richard Field, 25 March 2008
Hearts caretaker manager Stephen Frail has warned defender Jose Goncalves that he faces further time on the sidelines following the impressive form of Lee Wallace.
The Scotland Under-21 left-back was handed his chance after Goncalves walked out of Tynecastle shortly after being substituted during the defeat against Rangers.
This ultimately cost the 22-year-old Portuguese player his place and Wallace has produced three assured performances to add to his woes.
“Lee has the jersey and has done well enough in the last three games,” Frail told the club’s website.
“Things can change quickly in football but I have said this season already that if players produce the goods on the park then they will keep their place in the team.
“Lee had to wait for his opportunity when Jose was in the side and now Jose has to do the same.”
