This , i would have kept Facu as well , I know we have a recall clause but would Fab bring him back in January - we certainly need him atm

I didn’t know we had a recall clause for Buonanotte? What’s the source for this please?
I was reading a piece from a Leicester connected mag on Newsnow a few days before we played them and it was mentioned in that , along with the usual disappointment that we wouldn`t agree to a buy clause for him in the summer .
My understanding is that Veltman is still out for at least one more week.BartSubs: Steele, Dunk, Lamptey, O'Riley, Ayari, Gruda, Minteh, Adingra, Ferguson

Just asked Google and they say no , but the Leicester comment made a point of saying we do which is why i was so happy about it with our injuries and how well he is doing , sorry if i come across it i will put it up .

No problem, I just couldn’t remember reading this anywhere and we as a club are notoriously Mum about transfer details.
Without proof make that 2 of us .My understanding is that Veltman is still out for at least one more week.
just seen the news. Well, that’s me talking boll@x then.

Not to worry. More than made up for by your online picMy understanding is that Veltman is still out for at least one more week.

No players should be immune from being dropped, Dunk included.
It's not just the odd game here and there either. He's been in decline for nearly a year now sadly.

In regards to the bench, I think March is close. He is popping up on the club social media posts quite a lot now.

Hopefully March hasn't lost any of his pace with his injuries

It’s our defence that needs sorting , not the forward line
Couldn’t agree more.
Which is why I’m struggling to see how Diego Gomez can ‘change the game’ once he gets going next year in an area we have huge options.
With Dunk looking consistently dodgy for the first time in his career, JPvH going through poor form, Veltman injured alongside Lamptey and Kadıoğlu not being the best defensively, I’m hoping January will bring some Veltman like signings and a centre back who has some decent power AND pace.

It’s not about immunity from being dropped, it’s about having enough experience and leadership on the pitch. Would be a different equation if Welbeck and/or Milner were available.
Yep our defence is a bit of a worry , but you know what they say the defence starts with the forwards , and our MF could use a little bolstering

I’d like to see Ferguson start. I think he just needs a goal or 2 and confidence will come flooding back.
Enciso deserves a start after last week but whilst they haven’t performed well of late, I just struggle drop Mtitoma, Ritter or JP in lieu of him Given their quality on their day.
I think it needs a more positive approach than change of personnel. Tell Mitoma to go past people rather than checking back, have a few pot shots from range, get some crosses in. Don’t make it the predictable edge of the box play which allows WH to -ack the box and remove all the space.

I was critical of Dunk after last week, but feel if Veltman starts then Dunk will too. It's often the sum of the parts that makes the difference...
