Alzate on season long loan, but was recalled in January after breaking his back. Connolly was already injured before he was loaned out in January, so didn't join. Luton until April. Corrected for you - all five started against City in our first match in the PL.

Alzate and Connolly were both injured for considerable periods last season. As well as being a year younger ................ and on loan to progress their development. Certainly CH didn't appear to trust some new players. Perhaps you're thinking of Locadia, Andone and Jahanbakhsh? So - perhaps...

Better against Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs, for a start.

Wow - that's some boost relative to supporters incomes - 1980, about 5X as much as me per week, 2019 a massive 150X ............

All I know is that he was loaned (injured) on 31st. January, and stayed here for treatment/rehabilitation, and didn't play for Luton until April. Don't think we let him actually go there until he was fit and ready to play, once inculcated into the Luton coach's ideas.

.....but is lasting longer than an average 80s German electro-pop band's career, eh?

Connolly was injured before he was loaned out - although the loan started in January, he didn't recover to play for Luton until April. Must have been injured by BHA PL/U23 cloggers in training, eh?

Agree with most of your post.....BUT................ They were also a year younger and less developed - and more to the point, they were mostly injured. BTW, I don't actually think CH would have blooded them in the PL - but he also didn't have Trossard, Maupay, Webster and Mooy at his...

It's a perfectly valid opinion. And there is no 'evidence', just your opinion.

Yes, I said it was not a binary choice. Twice. :shrug: Yes, I also said that I suspected CH would have been unlikely to put Connolly and Alzate into the first team - an opinion. I wouldn't have stated it as a fact, because I don't know it for a fact - neither does anyone else.

Dear god! I've seen some attempts to downgrade all that Hughton achieved, but your's surely takes the biscuit! More options? Ha! Hemed - yes we all liked old Tomar but at best he was only cover for Murray - and a Murray who may have been 'fit and firing', but was also most certainly tiring. You...

Well yes, plus Trossard, Mooy, Webster, Maupay, Alzate and Connolly........... How would CH have got on with those six (or other additions that he might have preferred) added to the squad? I don't know - and neither do you. Anyone who comes on NSC claiming they do know is, frankly, a ****wit...

So that's 'no' then.

SSN today said that Allison will now miss the Merseyside derby. Surely he'll miss three games for a straight red, won't he?

Ah yes, the George Curtis mantra for footballing success.

Same number as last year.

Corrected for you. Sorry if it doesn't shout doom and gloom.
