Rance and Pugh simply aren’t the type of midfielders who can come in and replace Clunan. Those two are spoilers, not playmakers. Pugh is
good enough when you want him as a simplistic spoiler but not when it comes it dictating play.
Shrimpton I suppose possibly could but he’s going to need a while to get up to speed and hasn’t got the required experienced to impact the team like Clunan does. Rance I agree should never have signed that extension though, I will give you that. I said the same at the time.
