We didn't play with a 10 on Saturday and personally I hope we continue like that, the 433 fits our squad better. Pritchard is a pure 10, he can't play anywhere else really so there's no real point carrying him in the squad if we aren't going to play a system with his role in it.
People can mention us losing more experience but with his exit from Huddersfield and now here is he really the best mentor for our younger players?
He started more, performed better and contributed more after Mowbray was sacked so it's an interesting move. They need to hope Mowbray doesn't pick him over the likes of George Hall when he is fit.
It's done, we get a bit of money and his wages off the books, he gets a pay rise and a longer deal. Case closed.
He'll absolutely score against us in a few weeks but in the long run we will be better off I am sure of that. As I said the other day, Speakman hasn't been proved wrong by any outgoing player since he has been here.
