I think I would bring Digne back in, he’s been great up until the injury.

Are there really no younger players that would benefit from being in a match day squat? Kaden Young went on the US tour at the start for the season, had a few minutes and some mentions in The Evening Mail then nothing since?

Seriously though does anybody know why any club names two goalkeepers? It’s rare that one is ever needed….

It's been said Unai likes having an extra keeper for the warm ups.

That’s utter bollocks. He only does it when he has to. You also don’t need to be on the bench to do a warm up anyway.

The ones who have taken them to 4 points above the relegation zone.

Do you mean it's a bollocks idea, or that that's not the reason?  Im sure I read him actually saying that was the thinking behind it all, but my memory isn't always reliable!

Off the subject slightly I just watched an old Video of us getting hammered at home by Blues in 1986. I should watch more of these to give me a little reminder of how things have been in the past….. 😂

I saw it too and it was a shocking reminder that they still exist. Apparently they're still in the Championship.

The following Video was the equally disastrous following years defeat. I seem to remember Vince Overson wringing Mark Walter’s neck like a rag doll. Bad times….. My first season ticket was under Graham Turner. I thought that was bad then McNeill arrived. Anyway, all this talk is bringing back horrible memories. Back to today UTV 🦁
