[Albion] Lack of squad depth will cost us

[Flex Your Head]

A few interesting snippets.

The squad players are doing quite well today

Yeah, but....wolves are shit. It's nothing to do with how good they all are in our squad

Well, we’ve rotated and are 5-0 up. Several of the main players resting on the bench and Solly now getting a rest ahead of Man U. That seems quite good

After the set-backs in the last two or three weeks it was inevitable (and justifiable) that we'd be a bit concerned about whether we could get back on track. Today's performance looks like we can - so that's good. It doesn't mean that the concerns many of us had were unreasonable.

And yes, the reserves are playing very well indeed, which is also great - but we're not exactly playing prime Citeh either, are we?

Chris Sutton marvelling at how strong our squad is.

Was this before or after Veltman did his hamstring?

Still confused if some of our key players are in such need of a rest why Caicedo, Mac, Mitoma played 30-45mins each when we were cruising !

For fun?

Oh, bizarrely I know the answer to this. I can’t remember how I found out though, think it was in a discussion about another team and a manager said it. It was a while back though.

On match days, players aren’t doing training sessions so most of them (the ones you want to keep up to match fitness and best condition) will come on and play some minutes in order to give them some work and loosen up the legs.

Maybe you can have a word with Mustafa?

Agreed Puzzling Especially considering the score

Yes indeed they did. I didn't expect Gilmour to be the Scottish Moises given his time away, and only a fool didn't look at Undav starting and feel a little fearful.

Another 90 for Estupinian, though. That is a real hole in our squad that we can't rest him. Doubly so if Veltman is out for a while.

Which one ?

 

[Clive Walker]

Was livid when alexis and Moises came on.

Shirley the warm down with the other subs would suffice ?
Surprised Offiah didn’t get on
Bad news if Veltz is broken

I thought something similar.

A 30 minute workout against shocking opponents could only be to our benefit.

 

[GT49er]

If the Veltman injury is as bad as some have suggested, we are going to be short of FBs. Lamptey - is he anywhere near fit? Looks like Gross will have to play RB, unless we put Van Hecke or Offiah there - and it would be a huge leap for Offiah at this stage of the season! Can Colwill play LB of Pervis needs a break? - or would we have to go three at the back, with Gross and Solly as wing backs?

To make them feel involved in the fun after being in two horrible games.
