We all know how good he is and how much he has been missed, but I wonder if the 5 at the back was borne out of necessity as Clarke and Johnson just couldn’t do the job Axel does.
Enciso coming in suggests to me that, when Axel is fully fit, we could well revert to 4 at the back - likely Axel, O’Shea, Greaves, Davis. Morsy/Phillips and Cajuste And then three ball-carrying 10s in Enciso, Hutch and Philogene so we can get up the pitch and not leave Delap as isolated as he has been the last couple of games.
With Hirst, Szmodics and Broadhead to come on, we’re getting to the point where we have been for the last two seasons with subs coming on who can positively affect the game.
Of course we won’t get any more injuries between now and May….
8 games in and a combination of results that see us in exactly that position is being met with such an outpouring of over-the-top negativity it’s ridiculous.
Seems coming 4th bottom whilst also winning every game was the actual expectation.
Draw to takes points off each other, but both gain a point on us? Palace win to keep Everton down there and keep their confidence low? Can’t really see any positives in an Everton win but others might.
my daughter just asked if the name Kevin Lynch was familiar to me.
I’m not proud, but feel justified in saying that the level of swearing in my answer was greater than anything she’d heard from me since her birth 23 years ago.
What we can be certain of is that, whatever Saturdays result, McKenna would have moved on from it very quickly and immediately focussed on tonight’s game.
It’s this consistency, clarity, certainty from our manager that should give us all the belief that this team can do the business against Watford and Boro and head into the break in such a strong position.
No nerves in the stand tonight. Passion, support and determination and carry the team with you.
That Norwich’s brand of anti-football is actually our Achilles heel.
They’ll play with a flat back 10 again, aimlessly hump it forward and pray Sargent can fluke a corner, then get a rolling maul going to force it over the line.
Horrible, horrible play, but that’s what years of Prem money and parachute payments buys you nowadays it seems.
