Aye the lad who came in wasn’t terrible. I think the best thing I can say about Howe is he does really understand the big picture. We will be successful with him and will be very well set up for success when he leaves.
Got to be looking at the back 5 in January. Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn (and Krafth Lacselles, Target) all need replacing in the not to distant future as all over 30 now or surplus to requirements. So that’s basically the reserve defenders now. I’d like to get 1 or 2 in come the January window to start the ball rolling. We got Shahar, A.Murphy, Pivas etc who could replace Krath, Lacselles and Targett and see if any can force their way into the squad but personally I’d prefer some established names in the door to provide completion for the here and now and replace the old guard. If there was a GK up for grabs I’d have that as the priority but there’s been a bit of a merry go round for keepers this summer just gone so may have missed the boat…
