Pines is currently playing for the under 21s against Sheff United. It’s on their YouTube channel if you fancy watching the first half before our game. Appears as if he’s getting eased in, which I don’t have a problem with.
Russell feels like a more natural replacement for Luca for me. He also had a very good game on our last Tuesday night game at Oxford. Admittedly followed by an awful game at home on the Saturday!
