Heard a lot of comments about it being a steep cliff when you lose any of the first XI

Then I thought well who is currently out injured

Sheaf
Eccles
Saka
Lati
Dovin

There aren’t many teams that can put on a show like ours with definitely 3 of the first team out

Just need a top quality centre half as back up for and cover for the wings

I think only Saka and maybe Dovin would get into the side from yesterday. Our cover is lumpy, three LBs good quality RB, no CBs. Lots of 6/8s in CM and no 10s. No real wingers though Rapha is looking closer than he was. Only Simms and BTA to cover striker options and wide right.

An injury to a CB or Rudi or Wright right now would probably derail us more than it should.

Probably is the time to move Sheaf on, use Eccles as the Grimes back up and get a more dynamic replacement. Can't see it being done but would be a nice to have.

Expect a CB and wide player in before the window shuts though.

Why? He doesnt start above the three in the middle yesterday but he's better than Allen, Andrews and Eccles. Unless its top money and/or we have a replacement lined up, then why join the boo boys because if any of the first three get a knock it's a huge drop off. Short memories.

A great bonus from Saturday was the performance of Wright, I struggle to remember a better performance from him. Last year at times he seemed disinterested, lazy with often poor control, but Saturday he had high energy, won lots of high balls, linked the play well, and of course scored 2 good goals. I'm not sure we can find a better striker, unless we want to pay silly money.
Asante has had his critics maybe often justified but his performances in the last 2 games have been outstanding, the team has suddenly looked full of goals, and he has been integral in our improvement. Have never been a fan of inverse wingers. While Saka has been a decent player for us, he always favours crossing with his left foot meaning the ball is swinging away from the forwards.. I much prefer a right footed crossing on the right wing. Ala Bennett/ Houchen Wembley goal. With Asante often coming inside it means Wright is not so isolated also allowing Milan to overlap and whip in crosses that have led to goals in both games.
