We have learned over the last month that our second and third eleven aren't good enough. BUT Baldock is back so hopefully Hemed will be able to find the goal again. Knockeart is a good replacement for Solly (maybe not as flair but hopefully more consistent) and a dead ball specialist, something we have lacked. KLL is back, although I doubt he will get 90 mins, he will scare them to death for 20. Ridgewell is good cover for Bong and hopefully will cover until Bong is fit again. Maenpa looks like he is good cover for Stockdale. Towell looks like he could cover in mid field, for injuries/suspensions, but hopefully he will be pushing either Stevens or Kayal for a starting place. So it looks like we are near enough back up to full strength and by all accounts TB is still willing to open his cheque book. My glass is half full.

Like the look of that, although as others have said I'd probably have gone for Goldson ahead of Dunk. Much stronger bench than we've seen in recent weeks as well, which can only be good news.

Harsh on Goldson as he's looked a lot more solid than Dunk in the last few days.

Extremely harsh, he must wonder what he must do to hold down a central defender position

Just scoring a goal would be an achievement tonight

Danny Ward is a canny crosser (from memory).

So is mine. Considering how well we were doing, and now the addition of Ridgewell and Knockeart, players arriving back I feel confident we have turned the corner. Our midfield looks impressive, though I'd have preferred KLL to Murphy.
