I don't think they have 90 minutes between them. Vale captained the England U19s to tournament victory, so I'd expect to see him first.
Without parachute payments you need players like that who will run through brick walls for the team. Too many liabilities out of possession
They both started in the league cup for Chelsea, after Simons had previously come off the bench. We signed a similarly young Harry Wilson a few years back and he didn't need getting up to speed. We've gone the scattergun recruitment and Shota has no clue what to do with them.
good, they can see this is not working. Lesson learned, employ the best man available for the job, not your mate!!!!
Acun doesnt look happy. shota bummed and sacked by the potters, bumed and sacked by the potters. On a serious note i think he will get one more chance. Next game is win or lose for him
What an absolute shambles. It's easy to say sack the manager but WTF is another manager meant to do with that squad? We have a team of central midfielders, no decent wingers and only one fit striker. Clusterfuck.
We did, but then also you have to look at who they would replace. I'd have Vale in ahead of Longman, I was simply giving a reason why I think Shota hasn't played them. Would you drop Simons for Tufan? Seri maybe, but he hasn't been brought in to sit on the bench either. You wouldn't drop Slater at the moment, he's been our best player for the last few games.
Honeyman wasn't a DM. And given Brum wanted a high earner off the wage bill i'd think he'll be on a good whack. Does Honeyman start over Pelkas or Tufan? Maybe that's why he left...
5 minutes added.... they had 10 mins of players on the floor.... but they do still look dangerous so maybe a blessing...
Seri has been awful since his return and Shota has said as much so yes I would have given Simons a go. Maybe Vale off the bench.
