Santos needs taking out of the firing line at the moment. Shows some good play but also his inexperience in the Championship. He just needs a break from starting and some minutes in the development team before his confidence is further eroded. |

Someone confiscate his phone and don't let him read Clive's opinion of him.๐๐ |

Was HH with the first team squad in Portugal in pre season or Austria the previous year? Anyone remember? |

He was clutching his leg higher up because it ended up between Varane's legs and JV may have twisted as the opponent came in from the side. |

If it's not a particular strength then I would rather be stayed at home and let the defence deal with it. There was one incident yesterday where I was thinking he might come but he didn't and the ball ended up in his hands on the line. Had he tried to come and not got it, it's another goal. He's quick off his line to dive at attackers feet. I think he's an agile keeper rather than a strength one. |

Two points to make. 1. You can't go on loan in the EFL outside of the transfer windows. 2. I don't know what the levels of non league clubs are, or who else might have been looking for a non league loan but Enfield is pretty local. He won't have to uproot his life and he might even be able to spend some of the week training with us. |

Thanks. Hopefully, we won't descend to that. |

Don't disagree with what you are saying but now everyone needs to work hard without the ball and track back. |

I think Adel gradually adapted his game. He became a deep lying midfield player in his Benfica days. He could always tackle when he wanted to and must have eventually learnt to work harder to hold down a first team place in Portugal. |

Adel with Rrrrrs was 11 or 12 years back. Game has moved on. Virtually all players have to track back and avoid losing possession, even in the opposition's half, as many teams break with great speed in the 'modern game'. |

International breaks may ease cumulative fatigue but they are little or no help with the length of recovery from the previous match, which varies by player. Some players need more than others, due to carrying knocks, age or historical injuries. We simply don't have the details to form an objective opinion. |

I can't make my mind up so I'm saying 'neither' or maybe 'both'. |

We can't afford anymore injuries by overloading players. It's been in modern terms, more or less, minimum recovery after Saturday, when there was a game in which we had to do a lot of chasing as well as the travelling involved. We have invested a considerable amount of our budget on new recruits. Some have played numerous minutes, Nardi, Dembele; Others rather less, Ashby, Saito, Santos, Varane, Madsen. Celar probably somewhere in between It is important that we give these players 'minutes'. We will have several more occasions of three game weeks which, as Clive has regularly reminded us, have been an 'achilles heel' for us over previous seasons. We need to be more competitive in all these games and try and pick up more points, which could make a huge difference to staying out of a relegation battle or maybe even pushing us into the playoff picture. Our players are humans. They are also professional sportsman and some of them will have the wear and tear of several years and will need managing. Frey and Anderson may be two examples. We also, as fans, have short memories. We have suffered major injuries in cup competitions in the past. Akos at Man U and Jamie at Blackburn; Ale as well, I think, but I can't remember the match. It's logical to think that the players who were rested will be better for it on Saturday. They will need to be as Millwall have had a week of training too and without the focus of the club shifting to a different challenge. There are no guarantees but I hope we do win, otherwise there will be a big f*** off response of 'I told you so on here', which by the second reading of the classified football results will have gone to five pages.๐๐ |

I presumed we picked up the Sheff Weds commentary. Sounded like he was leaning towards the Owls. |

Bennie and Gus. I don't think that part of the arm counts as handball under the recent (let's make it more complicated) changes to the handball law. Some nonsense about the t shirt line. |
