    Will he play him on Saturday? Surely he must start.

    I just looked at the fixtures and we’ve got Saturday/midweek games for next 3 weeks after PNE so Bulut has to work out when to play him notwithstanding Wales’ play off games.

    Sorry to use the beloved footballing cliche but I think the decision should be made one game at a time. I've no idea how fragile he is but under normal circumstances I would advocate playing him as much as possible. However, as I said I've no idea about the likelihood of a recurrence or his general fitness level. So I think medical staff and Rambo himself have to take the lead in decisions. For Bulut, I think it's about having a generic plan for when Rambo is not available. In a nutshell, if he's fit and willing, then use him and if not, have plans B ready.

    I feel Bullet needs to pick positions for players, and play them in those positions. Only if there's an emergency plug someone else in. Ramsey or Colwill at no 10. It would be an opportunity over the next 18 months to decrease Ramsey's workload and develop an asset.

    Hopefully, we'll have some decent young squad players come back in the summer having kicked on during their loan spells, and ready to step up back home.

    We'll still need to buy in key individuals, but the core should be developed in house.

    The squad is looking in decent shape at present.
    Bullut needs to make it work!
    No excuses.

    I hope someone has half an eye on recruitment for next year.
    Perhaps a de facto DoF.
    A couple key loanees will disappear, and several areas will need further strengthening.

    I've still got us finishing 6th to 10th.

    I'm pretty sure Turnbull plays no. 10 so a clear opportunity to alternate him and Rambo but play both if we feel we can dominate a game.

    I've read that Turnbull is not thought to be the quickest but counters that by having a good positional sense, an eye for goal and is very good at free kicks and pens.

    That could see Rambo in a deeper role with Turnbull pushing up - similar to Colwill.

    Either way there is an opportunity not to overwork Rambo.
