is our squad depth really that much worse than 70% of the clubs at this level? We brought Tavares back in today to deputise and he gave us a solid 5/6 out of 10. We’ve got 2 goalkeepers who could be number 1s for a few sides at this level. Our rotation in defence can leave us exposed at times...
Definitely, and less time out on the wing too and more through the middle. I’ve seen enough of him on RW to know it limits him.
You don’t come through an academy like Everton’s and get into their match day squads by being a shit footballer.
Hope Leicester don’t take their foot off the gas now they’re basically walking to promotion. They’ve got some big games for us coming up (Sunderland, Norwich, Hull etc.,)
Will be a relief to get Sakamoto and Ohare playing together again for Preston.
Hope Torp sub was strategic/pre-emptive rather than because of an injury. Can’t lose another CM
Clean sheet and back into the top 6 for another week. Plus gained on WBA, dragging that 5th place back into play.
Happy, 4 points from 2 hard away games with a depleted squad.
