Surely that's what everyone wanted after the last few weeks? Can't win if we keep conceding as many as we have been. Obviously you still want the attack to function, but some sacrifice is worth it to shore up the defence

Agree 2 per position is normal, but think that the core squad that is used most often will remain small.

Clear Slot favours a small squad and less rotation, but also not much need to rotate so far, will be more need for the squad later on

It's insane, missing Gravenberch, 2 new full backs and relative lack of minutes in pre season amongst the CBs, of course we're not going to be completely solid yet

Assume his preference was to not play Gomez if not needed due to fitness, but when it was clear Endo wasn't working there he changed it again.

Not been able to watch much of the game so far, but has it been Robbo at CB and tsimi LB? And was Nyoni RCB before he went off?

Seems like the plan based on pre-season

I guess that's the official reason! As you say, absurd not to just send him to the monitor for a review.

It's the dumbest thing, because the wrong decision was for the "foul" on Hall, they don't then review the obvious wrong decision to not give a pen, pathetic use of VAR.
