Yes, I agree hindsight is a fans forum's best friend. We made the right choice available at the time, and who knows what will happen next year. Stupid rumours already that City and Liverpool are sniffing round.
I almost think we might have made a mistake and should have kept Facu, but rather sent Enciso out on loan. He is the one who really needs a run of games to get his form back, and I am not sure he'll be getting it with us at the moment.
Given we keep selling our players of the year and it is already known that Joel is likely to return to play in the Netherlands next season anyway, it might be best to give the POTY award to him. Better that than lose Mitoma, Baleba, JPVH, Rutter or whoever.
Seriously, Veltman has been a top...
I think when you have struggled as he has recently the knack of being in the right place at the right time seems to desert you. Sometimes that's because you start looking for the ball in the wrong place, dropping to deep or making your runs too early etc.
More of a worry for me is that he is...
So after 8 games we have won 4 games. 3 of those were against teams that realistically would be targeted a place in Europe this season. Plus a draw against a team odds on for top 3 (if they can keep 11 players on the pitch).
Now hopefully we can beat Wolves and then we have two free hits.
Looking at the available squad, with Pervis and Julio to be confirmed, I am guessing:
Bart
Veltman
Dunk
JPVH
Ferdi
Minteh
Hinshelwood
Baleba (Weiffer if Carlos unfit)
Mitoma
Rutter
Welbeck
Subs: Steele, Lamptey, Pervis, Igor, Ayari, Weiffer, Enciso, Gruda, Ferguson
