If Scarles is our first choice left back, we will be lucky to make the playoffs!

I would think kilman, pablo, the midget in goal, the lack of a goalscorer, no creativity or pace through the team are much bigger concerns than scarles who did ok in the PL when played at lb not RB, he's a youngster that lacked a little bit of confidence after being played completely out of position so having a pop at a youngster with no context is bizarre to be honest

The Championship is relentless. We will need as many fit players as possible.

Of course Scarles will have plenty of game time. He's shown enough to deserve it.

I can see Kante, Potts, and even Orford as both subs and starters during a hectic, busy season.

They will all get their chance. How good they are is another story.

Joyfully, I really appreciate your posts and information. However, I feel that, maybe with the circles you move in, the churn of signings seems to be a priority.
We need two or three, Disasi or another cb, a creative leader, possibly a loan much like Lingard was, and a dependable left winger for when Summerville "takes the soup".

The academy should be able to cover the squad places. There's plenty of talent there, as long as they're not expected to do the heavy lifting.

Thanks for your words. To be honest, having watched younger players a few times, I really hope that I'm wrong, but I don't have the faith you do in them. I'm a bit edgy about some of them, but they will all get a chance.

Nuno has a difficult job to do, made no easier by those players who are undecided about leaving.

Decisions need to be made urgently.

There's plenty of so-called Itks out there giving information about strips, injuries, and the like. I just post agency talk, or some of it. I'm not an Itk, as you have guessed. Thanks again, Joyfull.


Of.

If we think, for a moment, youth will do the trick, we are delusional.
