How were Kayal (play of the season year before last), March and Baldock not regular starters? The only reason they didn't start more was because of injury.
It didn't because he was injured. If Ryan had been injured all season, he wouldn't be the a regular, but that doesn't mean his injury wouldn't count.
Given that we had to wait for Izquierdo to be up to PL speed, March would have been in our starting 11, if fit. Kayal probably would have been...
Were we that lucky? Didn't Kayal miss the start, with Sidwell injured all season, meaning we only had Propper and Stephens with no subs? They formed a good partnership through necessity. Didn't March and Baldock also miss a chunk? Would have been nice if Baldock started as he finished last...
