Pugh while not being as talented as other players from a technical stand point is very effective if used correctly. Pugh is somewhat limited but as a simple midfielder used to break up the play, I doubt there would be many better at this level.
I know we have to watch the wages but he’d be very handy to have around because if anything happens to Clunan and we need a genuine sitting midfielder I would choose Pugh over Shrimpton personally.
I think Shrimpton’s the better player overall but Pugh far exceeds him when it comes it the ugly side. I would be tempted to get him back fully fit and confident and send Jenkins back to Leeds.
As I said further up, he’s been doing really well for them and don’t think he can play against us so that would be a bit of a hindrance for them.
