?We think he will be two to three weeks.?
This means he could be out for the next 4 games, with powell being out for those four games as well we have a very weakened midfield. Benson is not a replacement in terms of position or work rate for either of those players.
Personally i think the club leadership are sat with fingers crossed the MH can do enough to keep us up and if he doesn't they will invoke a relegation clause in his contract (any business man worth his salt would have put such a clause in his contract, especially as he was untried and desperate to manage the club, the club had all the leverage in that negotiation) and therefore reduce any payout. Then start a new next season in l2 with a new manager and new squad, after a big clearout.
I love the optimism about these two games, but I just cannot see MH making the right decisions at the right time, he has got it wrong so many times this season and he does not seem to learn. However I always enjoy my trip to Burton and playing Donny is a good local Derby, so we will see.
