At some point we have have much more than just “ he’s good at closing players down”. I love Matos but I’m hoping he’s not developing a blind spot over Ronald in particular. It’s not a great signal to the squad if you consistently pick an out of form player. I’d much rather see Bianchini have a run in the side.

I'm hoping the his overuse of Ronald is due to having no better option. The summer should tell us which way were going.

Decent squad player, can't rely on him week in week out.

Agree, we are where we should be under Matos.

Mid table budget, mid table squad value and in his 18 games he has us performing around 10th. We have no right to be going away from home and beating teams like Ipswich. It’s possible, but anyone who expects it is having a giraffe.

To put them in perspective, the money they want for their left back alone, is DOUBLE the amount that our entire starting 11 cost us, and he’s probably not their best player.

Now we have a decent manager will the board decide to back him properly in the summer rather than just get some up and coming prospects who may or may not work out? I’m proposing this in the light of the significant sponsorship deals that we have no real evidence of yet.

Agree. Like Cullen or Eom a good option on the bench but having higher standard players playing week in week out. This summer is going to be interesting.

Definitely, we could say that for a lot of the squad, I'm still no fussed on Cubango and Burgess as a pairing.

If we are looking to challenge, then squad depth is going to be important.

Defending leads with the clock ticking down is ideal for players like Ronald to come on and work his nuts off.

Didn't that display drive you batchy?

Take the rough with the smooth Peggy, more to come, much more.
