Our present squad

Thats just the way we set up though.

He's scored at a reasonable rate everywhere he's been. Including international.

Our 2 CM's are to contain, not create.

Talking of 'setting up' watching our U21's v Boro 0-0 ht, but they are set up 4-2-3-1.

No great surprise. He will probably go wherever Glasner next ends up. One of those players who rarely catches the eye but clearly makes the midfield tick. We look a much worse team when he doesn’t play and the likes of Wharton have dropped a level without him playing alongside.

No big loss at all. Thanks for the two-and-a-half decent games you had for us. We've got and will go and find so much better.

Sorry but that's just rubbish.

Thanks for the detailed tactical analysis. I’ll look at the facts and the results if it’s all the same.

Haha, fair enough. I was a bit blunt. I've analysed it up the wazoo in other threads, so am tired of repeating myself, that's all. Apologies.

Hughes is far, far defensively superior to Daichi.
Daichi is marginally superior offensively.
Wharton is more of an offensive player.
Hughes offers the defensively solidity we need, as evidenced by clean sheets like last week's.
Wharton and Hughes is the best and most balanced combination.
