The manager had to stay that as he has several matches before he can get anyone in and thus he has to instill confidence in his team. So he clearly has to work with the same players, but perhaps tweak the side a little and get them playing. In fact I think he will probably go down a Mick McCarthy kind of approach for this in the fact that we nick a goal and hold on for the win.

"We may need a little help" statement... on 19:13 - Oct 31 with 816 views
I think it’s a sensitive balance between managing morale in the squad and not intimating that they’re all sub standard, but also reassuring a few of the senior players that he’s identified a skill gap and will look to correct it. Probably also an element of managing ME’s expectations that he will need to invest in Jan, regardless of what happens between now and then.
