That's kind of the point. He needed a good rest and then to build fitness.

It's pretty clear Collins was bought in as a first team keeper. Whatever, he isn't a 'fine acquisition'. Saka wasn't a 'big buy'. He seems to have been a rather spontaneous piece of luck. As I said this year the players brought in have looked excellent.

I don't think Collins, jds or Lati are starting 11 players. Kitch we'll see. If they were bought to be first team players on high wages then that hasn't worked out. But they are ok squad players.

This season's transfers in are really looking good so far. Some of last year's aren't aging so well- Collins, Kitch, jds, Ayari, Lati (maybe). TBF some are ok squad players. Depends on their wages.

Let's hope we handle the more physical Championship a bit better than last year. I think EMC can handle himself, not sure about Rudoni but he is a tall lad. Saka will still be a target for roughing up so we need to be on it as a team and at the ref and the captain being vocal.

He hasn't properly rested, then rebuilt fitness though. You still suggesting, away at Stoke, that we drop Sakamoto, break the Saka/MVE right side and play essentially 3 up front? Cos that ain't happening.

He won't be match fit. He'll just get injured. Likewise Sheaf, Torp. A bit of patience. EMC probably best choice anyway away at Stoke.

We have 10 days before the Stoke match. No way Wright will be fit enough to start that after his preseason. A sub yes.

It would be insanity to drop Sakamoto, breaking his pairing with MVE and losing his contribution to the team. Sakamoto and probably EMC may be especially important in away games because they can hold up the ball and make themselves available with tenacity. Something Wright lacks. All a bit...

EMC has to start against Stoke. He's earned it and Wright needs to build fitness. EMC may be especially important in away games because he can hold the ball up well, has a good physical presence and.makes himself available.

Same 3 as last night. You can't throw in Wright to start after his lack of games. So EMC should get a few games to show what he can do. Wright can be used as a sub as necessary.

Super sub.

I think I prefer EMC starting to Wright on this showing. Involved, aggressive, some defensive capability. Early days though.

Rudoni confidently wants the ball and knows how to run into space to get it. Gonna make a big difference.

Not if you DM me it😉

Sometime the madness has to stop though.

Some weird straw man nonsense there fella. In the end MP's had an amendment to scrap the two-child benefit cap in front of them, to help reduce child poverty. Do you in good conscience vote against that? I think you might be confused who the lunatics are.

I'm just after a bit of balance really. Some are acting like he's proven quality, a great passer with a great shot. He's had 1 assist and no goals in 15 Championship games. Has seemed off the pace or slow in many of those and been injured a lot. Hopefully, there's something there but at the...

He's not been available to play for much of his time here due to injury. I'd call that significant for a football player.

I'm sure Robins is delighted with Torp's 1 assist and no goals in 15 Championship games. Not to mention his 3 significant injuries in 6 months.
