    Burstow has had no service to be fair. I think we’re still adapting to new players in new positions and actually having a proper striker on the pitch is one of the issues we need to deal with. Dack seems to really help out with that.

    Think the Sub is the right one from the gaffa. The more of the ball we have the less our defence is having questions asked of it. I’d take Pritchard off for Aouchiche.

    We seem to have adapted to playing in a style that doesn’t suit a striker. We are obviously absolutely better off for having one. Just think it will take a while to use them properly

    I just want to say Huggins has done well again, touch wood. Understated, but very accomplished out and in posession. Another player we have on our hand for me.

    Looked like they were targeting him first half an hour he was shocking. Really grown into the game though

    Wonder how much less joy Blackburn would have had if Evans were available.

    I’d probably get Aouchiche on for Pritchard pretty soon. Just a bit more energy

    Anil and Bennette would be perfect in this situation imo

    Maybe Hemir for Ba as well just to occupy their defenders and keep their full backs back on the cover

    We need Hemir on. We've dropped a lot deeper since taking Burstow off and stepping their line up even higher.
