Yes, although he looked good warming up on Tuesday...
The only reason for me is that Pollock is not picked suggests he is not ready for league action. From what I have seen of him would tend to agree with JB. If Pollock continues on the bench that slightly undermines JB’s approach. No point selecting a squad player if not good enough. Perhaps JB should consider giving Pollock a ‘sub’ opportunity a few times to determine/justify his selection.
