For me Nathan will be away with England soon, so he should play if possible. Carr is more valuable to us being needed by us for important prem games in mid Feb. Shields will be in a similar position, but there is not the obvious replacement of similar qualities.
Launch needs game time I guess?
Young we need in cotton wool, he has been outstanding in defeat and victory, posters saying the whole team are underperforming really were not giving him full credit.
I agree with the article on nine and ten, but with the caveat that the slightest knock they should be hooked.
The season structure is balls, we get two weeks of Euro and have to wait till mid February for our league to restart. Six weeks with competitions we are out of and rest weeks.
