Why does T.Campbell keep getting selected

Well we are 300 posts in, are we any closer to the answer.

Yes... 

What was the Question again?

PWR. Needs to wind his neck in after that celebration. The fans have sung his name since day one, he’s been poor this season and rightly come into some criticism. To throw a tantrum like that is naive. 

what tantrum? 

Plays full back for Norwich?

I’m a big TC fan but a goal & assist from the bench in about an hours worth of football does suggest that maybe he should be a “game changer” rather than a starter. 

Hopefully his success in his last couple of appearances from the bench will do him the world of good in terms of rebuilding his confidence.
He was also badly in need of a rest.
Whilst we are picking up points I would continue to use him as a sub. A player with his pace and trickery is always going to be more successful against tiring legs.
But should he once again become a starter, I think we'll see a more productive player than we did a few weeks ago.

I'm pleased for him that he scored, and to be fair, it came after him being dropped to the bench, which is what most people were calling for. He obviously needs a rest to recuperate mentally and physically. 

I'm not sure if the stuff about him not wanting to celebrate with the fans is true or not, but he needs to take the rough with the smooth. He might get criticised sometimes, but his song is also the one that's sung more than any other player. 

And it doesn't matter who you are, if you back out of a 50/50 like that at The Valley, you will get pelters. 

After the last regular game of last season, he was clearly as 'head down' uncomfortable with the plaudits he was getting and the amount his song was being sung.  Could be he's painfully shy - odd as that sounds in the ubermacho professional football environment - social awkwardness has nothing to do with athletic prowess.
He won't have been unaware of the extent, nature and ferocity of much of the abuse he's been getting.  To throw that off and celebrate with those same profanity hurling yobs would have been weirder than turning to get on with the game, as he did.

Problem is same can be said about Tanto and unless we find ourselves in a situation like yesterday where we can chuck TC on at LWB, does TC or Tanto have to start at the LW/ST role because not sure either Kelman or Leaburn are as effective when they are forced to drift out wide
