Dunk had two chances to hit it up the line. First time, he gave it back to Gross, who had no option but to pass back. The second time, Dunk received it there needed to be a hoof, especially as Igor was out of position at that point.
For me, the mistake really wasn't Bart's. There were two senior players who have played in the Premier League for us since we were promoted, who played it back and forth to each other before playing it back to Bart, which put him under pressure as it was all so slow and predictable. It was...
Not at the moment, hasn't he done his knee in?
I am a bit surprised by this, given how many keepers we have on our books at the moment. Certainly several more than either left or right backs!
No, totally agree, just saying what has happened before.
I suspect we will buy, and it will be mix and match. We clearly need at least one, if not two full backs, and they need to be ready to play.

Yes, but usually they are the "for the future signings", Mac, Caicedo etc, and often loaned back.
Last year it was Buonnanotte and Ayari in.
Neither made much impact (until recently for Facu)
In 2022 it was Undav (loaned back to USG) and Kozlowski
In 2021 it was Caicedo (didn't make premier...

Biggish is he is missing more than 4 or 5 games.
Big is 2 months or more!
He will be a massive miss
