Pitman was pretty good for a season for us, but then his legs went and he was quite rightly dropped because he was no longer fit enough to play every week. His unwillingness to recognise that fact led to the bust up and being bombed out whereas with a different attitude he could have continued playing an important role in cameo appearances.
Rumour has it that he also used to upset the younger members of the squad with his attitude towards them (this was visible on the pitch with Curtis) and this will not have helped him when it came to being bombed out by Jackett.
