Lati's a fine utility player, but I'm not sure he can be backup for himself.

Yes, that's how it makes me feel too (3 at the back).

Kelly is still an option, and was great at the end of last season. But what we really need is a Sheaf clone. Could the Sports Science guys quickly come up with Dolly the Sheaf?

But it's very early days for him, and I bet the 'safety first' option of Lati will be uppermost in their minds if it's 4-2-3-1. Or try again to make 3 at the back work, maybe with some tweaks.

I doubt there would huge windfall profits from that.

Yes. Annoyingly I fear that the plan formerly known as Plan A (wingbacks) may get brought out of mothballs quite a lot.

Clash of heads going for the same ball?

"Flaccid Member"?

Matt Smith and the Dimwits has a nice ring to it as a band name tbf

Occasionally. And plenty of other times he is clearly a big problem to defences, and I'm confident his contribution will grow and grow. I suspect he's going to be a hero :)

Torte is also a cake. Eccles and torte would be a scrumptious midfield.

Because you like saying never?

Yeah but he also occasionally makes a hash of things with poor control, and for some people on here that's all they see.

Not at this stage, although he does look promising. As an example, I noticed that he hid a bit when we had throw-ins, whereas Sheaf always shows for the ball and nonchalantly deals with it. Edit: that's not a criticism, it's only his second game!

Not read the thread, so it has probably been mentioned, but I was directly behind the line of Kitchen's shot and it had a vicious swerve on it. No real blame on the keeper for parrying it.

Torp did well when he came on tonight, especially considering that he appeared to be pulling pints in the Stella Bar at half time.
