I've a feeling that we'll continue "by hook or crook", we've done amazing so far like that, whether we can get over the line or not is another question.
Saturday: 1-0 to the Rams, a steal against the run of play.
‘Thin squad’? I think that’s the question, RS. Superficially, or on paper at least, we have a stronger squad - or certainly one with more cover - than last season, but the additions either don’t appear to be trusted, eg. Bradley and Fornah, or are injury prone - Waghorn, JJ, Washington, Ward and Elder.
Would Lee Gregory be another example of the same mistake being made again? Last time we had him he looked promising but broke down after ten or eleven games never to reappear. Tbf, since his move to Wednesday, he’s made well over seventy L1 appearances and appeared to do well at our current level. At 35 it’s a risk that he’ll just become another addition to our list of older and injury prone strikers, but we certainly need someone between now and May to support/relieve Collins. LG should be ‘hungry’ and have a point to prove after having so few opportunities in the Championship…maybe worth a risk for the remainder of this season.
