I can understand signing an extra player to fill out the squad and to provide more competition for places but we now have Kenyon, Pugh, Hallam, Wood, Hippolyte, Pugh, Perry, Hackney and Gallimore competing for two or three midfield spots. That’s 9 players! Granted, Pugh might spend more time at right-back and Hallam has fitness issues but, realistically, how often are we likely to see someone like Gallimore on the pitch in the coming months?
I wouldn’t mind if he’d been nowhere near up to standard the other day but actually he was quite impressive, so let’s see more of him!
Hippolyte was only filling in there so he doesn’t count as he’s a wide player
Hallam is a perma crock so you can chalk him off
Gallimore is still only a rookie so you can’t expect him to feature too often
That’s 3 whittled off your total already.
Leaves wood, Hackney, Perry, beestin, Kenyon and Pugh
“who’s seen more as a RB”. Gallimore will be drip fed into the side given cameo here and there but the main players will the first 6 listed players who will be competing for 3 midfield slots which I think is more than suitable.
If we get 1 or 2 injuries to those listed players and we favour 3 in the middle like we have been doing then that’s completely fine.
I don’t get why people are moaning personally. Come January I’d loan out Hallam and Jessop if at all possible and get another striker in.
