Lots of games coming up so assume it’s a rest for Hume rather than a dropping. Perhaps he also fancies Oniens “stand up and defend” will work better against Sainz than the more “diving in” Hume?
O'Nien marking Sainz makes sense, can't give him anything today. Happy with the lineup, Hume has barely had a break this season and with the upcoming schedule i'm not surprised to see him out of the lineup today. I expect to see 1 or 2 'surprise' changes in the next few games.
Timely for Poveda to get on the bench. Very light there for players who can bring a spark / something different.
he never lets us down mind. Really shows the benefit of having him in the squad, frankly even if we ever get promoted.
Thought gunn was supposed to be suspended, lots of talk over the road saying he was. (I really should know better believing over there )
just met his son this morning out walking the dog. Very nice young man. Speaks very good English and is the double of his dad!
I missed that Poveda was on the bench. Have to confess I’ve written him off. Would absolutely love to look an idiot.
He looked about 16/17. Quite tall as well. Saying that Regis is a lot taller than you imagine as well
I'm not suggesting he does, he's an ok cover at right back. But he's a top class centre back and the sooner we get back to O'Nien and Mepham as a pairing, the better for me.
Heaving in the Sheepfolds! Bodes well for a good crowd! Nice to see they put some partitions round the out side seating area. Also said hello to Si King as well. The food in his new set up looks quality! Told him I was gutted as just had a full English before I came through!!!!
