Berardi / Forshaw - how reliable
Berardi - great commitment, passion, spirit, and a decent enough player, but after a run of injuries, some pretty serious, and with a few more years on the clock, having now to face Prem level attackers, is MB expecting too much, the same really for Forshaw, unlucky with injuries, but its a long road back, to get anywhere near the levels MB demands, let alone the speed, quality and rigours of the Prem.
Be great if both could return, fully fit, stay fit, and challenge for places, but with Koch out, Llorente having issues, Cooper & Roberts also prone, could be a gamble to far.
