Well currently Shipley is one of the CAM positions (even though hes nowhere near good enough). Jones has played about 5 games in 4 years and Howley has never made a league appearance. So the only cover is Allen
I take your point however find it hard to agree.
We like to play 4 in midfield. In January we knew that in those positions Shipley, Jones and Howley were either not good enough (first two) or not ready to step up (Howley).
That then leaves 6 capable players for 4 positions which i would say is...
Agree he will have to do that. My point is he shouldnt have to change his preferred formation due to a lack of depth in the squad

I would have probably gave Allen the last 15 over Jodi but agree should have used our full quota of subs. Hes always been reluctant with subs though

If we didnt have him our bench would be even weaker. Will get some game time i the next few games through inevitable injuries and lack of squad depth

He was everywhere. Some of his sprinting back when they were breaking dangerously was fantastic and used his physicality superbly without giving away needless fouls (missed his yellow card as i went to the toilet). Yes he missed a good chance at the end but it happens. Wont be properly...
So we have 1 player (Allen) to cover 4 positions (CM,CM,CAM,CAM) for the next 13 games with 1 of our midfielders 1 yellow away from a 2 game ban. Not signing 1 or 2 cheap loans in Jan is looking great

Did they say its being relaid at the end of this season or have i made that up? Sure when we came back they said it was too soon for this season but would be re laid for 22-23?
