Eric Deloumeaux has taken a swipe at former City boss Peter Reid following his departure to Livingston for the rest of the season.
The 31 year old who joined City from Aberdeen a year ago told the CET: "I am very disappointed to be leaving but I had very little choice. "I played at Middlesbrough in the Carling Cup and afterwards Peter Reid said I had played a good game.
"Then I started against Leicester and he took me off at half-time and still said I did all right and that his decision was tactical. But he never put me in the team again. I said before Christmas that the busy festive period would be an important time for me and that if I didn't play then, I probably wouldn't get a game again, and that has turned out to be right."
However, the midfielder who was injured during pre-season training in Germany did not criticise the new City manager, adding "I have had two training sessions with the new manager but he has been bringing new players in and he has to make decisions, so I cannot criticise him.
"I just feel that I haven't been given a chance this season." "I thought the fact that I could play in a number of positions would help me.
"Now I must look at playing first team football again and trying to earn a new contract. I have joined Livingston until the end of the season and hopefully something will happen for me."
Micky Adams hit back saying: "I was not happy with his fitness and the way he was doing things so it was decided that it was best for both parties. "We got the call from Livingston and that set things moving for him to leave."
