ASM, Almiron, Wilson and Willock are good players, and if they can keep them fit and motivated for the vast majority of the season then they should have enough for their standard lower-mid-table finish. If they start losing 2 or more of them for extended periods though, then things could turn ugly fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday he tried fit them all into the starting line up which in reality ruined any balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they got all 4 in the team loads during their successful run-in last season IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason i thought Willock was mainly a super sub last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusr Posted August 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Apparently he has the same name as the player in "Goal!" film.............

rodders0223 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 That's them done for the window. If and when ASM and Wilson miss substantial periods of the season they are in big trouble. Bruce may be right for once. He'll have to beg borrow and steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
