Udogie dropped is a good move. He's had a really underwhelming season, hasn't kicked on at all from last year's promise. Although sadly the same can be said about almost the entire team.
That might be why you’re annoyed at seeing the same things, if you go on Reddit and then here you will probably see stuff repeated which is to be expected. I don’t really use other sites other than this one so I don’t get the same repetition.
...meanwhile LadyC just texted me saying it's 20 degrees in Lanzarote and she's off to the beach later That's a paddlin'
It does bear mentioning that Mikey was our best player against Alkmaar in the group stage but didn't get a minute on Thurs. Similarly Scarlett got a goal and assist against Elfsborg and an assist against Ipswich, then disappears from view.
Something I and I think PNP has also mentioned a few times is that I don’t think at any point during this season he’s been fully fit. I think I mentioned to Hudd on the opening day that I was amazed he was starting because he’d only played 45 mins in pre-season after having been out for about 2-3 months. Since then it’s felt like he’s been trying to play catch-up along with suffering another injury and his form has resembled that of a player nowhere near 100%. Just one of many players this club’s messed about with over the last 18+ months.
Nice. It was 18 on the car dash, and as I'm still in winter hoodie mode I do feel a tad over dressed....
Have to wonder if Bergvall's fitness is playing up or if he's merely knackered, given how sloppy he's been playing in the last 2-3 games
Yeah bizarre not to give Mikey any minutes and I’ve not seen anything from Tel to justify him being ahead of Mikey
Ben Davies is many things, but he's a poor fit for the way Ange wants to play. It's just as well that Spence has developed as he has and can play so well on the left. Without him, we'd be in an even worse mess. Not having Danso, or an equivalent, at the start of this season has robbed us of Romero and VdV for far too long. That's kicked into Gray's development, as did playing him at left back. He got game time, but at what cost to the team? Yet, every season there are identifiable, significant holes on the squad...often for multiple seasons. It's amateur.
He's knackered....but still managed to be one of only 2 outfield players who emerged with any credit on Thursday.
