Dovin is a huge upgrade on Wilson, Collins and Moore, really really huge. I quite liked Marosi until he got wiped out but other than that it's been an absolute dog of a position for us for God knows how long.
Needs minutes to shake off the rust. People surprised he looks rusty doing so...
Wright looked well off it but you'll get a bit of that after some time out.
Robins lucky Rudoni isn't there to head in a hat trick.
Couple of half decent players at Stoke still. Burger hasn't had a good season but i do like him when he's on it, rate Manhoef too if he's fit he'll be a threat, especially as our LB area can be dodgy at times...
All that said, we should...
Ideally you'd want Torp to slot in for Rudoni but i don't think we'll see that just yet following the injury. Maybe that'll happen later in the game and be ready to go at Derby. Midfield 3 of Grimes, Sheaf and Eccles doesn't do much for me tbh.
It's true we could get a better idea by finding other examples of footballers with dislocated shoulders, but who can be arsed to do that?
(Hint hint to anyone sad enough to look it up.)
