That's makes little sense with Simms on the bench, especially with a World Cup looming.
But I do think Haji has issues with his conditioning and raising his fitness level. He's not the fittest or most athletic which doesn't help at all.
Still hoping to have a proper look at Markelo before the end of the season. Another cameo role today in a game in which EMC was well short of his best. Might be in the minority here but still think Markelo might have something about him, let’s see. Honourable mention to Bidders who put a greater shift in on the touchline than some of the players
When Rudoni took that free kick early on and dragged it wide, when the choice which he'd choose probably 19 times out of 20 would be to put it in the box, set the tone for me. I thought to myself this is the sort of attitude we've got today.
In the premier you not only need ability you need to chase lost causes and don’t give up and I’m not sure Wright is willing to do that , if you put wright and Simms together we would have a half decent player.

Thought his cameo against Preston was it he put some great crosses in, less so today. He’s played right side most of his career and his highlights had him cutting in and scoring so would like to see him in his proper position before judging but tbh five minutes here and there suggests he’s not doing it in training for Lampard to want him on the pitch.
