I didn’t want to include Dallas as a LB as I’d have to vote replace based on just that one position which would have been unfair. I’d keep him, great to cover a variety of positions but I’d love him to be on the bench for the opener as it would probably mean we have a dedicated LB. Allioski another I’d keep, exact same reasons as Dallas..... Thoughts?....
Yep, keep both. Dallas has been the most improved IMO,Allioski may not be a starter but will offer something from the bench. If we are going to have a small squad players like Dallas & Allioski should be retained
Keep both mentioned. I would have kept Berardi too before he got injured. You could add Shackleton to this lot. Dallas is one of those lads who looks to be able to play at any level. He isn't going to take the game by the scruff of the neck and win it for you wether it's in the PL or in League 2. He is solid. Well worth his place out wide. He will start for Bielsa next season unless we really go to town in the transfer market. Don't like him central, he looks like a fish up a tree. Alioski, like Bucks says, will be just as important to us as he has always been. He is a good character around the place for starters. As a player he is quick, skillful, can put in a decent delivery and although lacks consistency he is great at coming off the bench and changing the game. He seems to get us on to the front foot immediately. There is no one better at coming off the bench when we need a goal.
I wondered about Shackleton, I’ve decided to put him in midfield later, I’ll split that group into two.
Keep both until next Summer when hopefully we will bring in higher quality replacements. Both deserve a chance and to be fair many would say Dallas was player of the season. we need 4 newbies at least and one being a left back which then makes both sat on the bench. CB, striker or No10 is beyond them both so hold on for next Summer or bin in January if they are getting no game time
did you just say alioski is quick? Have to disagree on that one... if he had some pace he’d be a good player. He’s looked much more useful as a sub this year than he ever did as a starter... I’m fine with him as a squad player for now but not really first choice in any position and definitively not at Prem level. Likeable as he is, if we’re going to maintain a small squad, we’re probably going to need better pretty soon. Dallas is the new madeley and definitely a ‘keeper’
Keep them both, Dallas has man marked some good players out of the game this season, and miraculously keeps getting better, Alioski ? Probably struggling on ability, but I just love the guy, the way he winds everyone up etcetera.
Maybe it's because he has little legs and they just look like they are moving fast. Ok, I'll change the wording to he looks fast!
