Bielsa too cautious

Thought today that for the first time today Marcello's team selection indicated that he was concerned about the defence, I thought Baker's selection was aimed at protecting the CB partnership of PJ and KP and whilst I can understand that, Baker looks far too slow and ponderous.
Think that Jack Clarke's time has come, I know he is only 18 and that would leave us with a very young team but I can see no reason why Baker is getting the nod ahead of a prodigious young talent.
He always looks like creating opportunities whereas Baker really doesn't do an awful lot.

Bench was Huffer, Harrison, Clarke, Davis, Halme, Bamford, and Roberts. Leif Davis is the only one whose never started for us.
Cannot follow the team very closely Shaun if there are a few you'd never heard of.

Question, when Bielsa came in, how many thought we'd be where we now are at this time?..

Correct me if I'm wrong but most people had given up when he came in and held onto most of the same players as last term, just goes to show that sometimes its the people above the players that ain't up to it!..

Bielsa has shown English football that the right person left to do their job sometimes works better than Chairmen trying to do it all themselves!..

If Bielsa has a wish list, than someone had best be listening!..

Leif Davis is an 18 year old left back, signed from Morecambe academy, too early to say but has been going well for the U23's. Probably makes the bench as Pearce has been out injured. Hope this helps.

"Thought the subs bench today was dreadful for a team top of the league."

No, he didn't mean Bolton.

Shaks not a sub but an u23 players apparently from what I have read was a close MOTM.

XLarke was awesome ........again for an 18 years old.

Bamford won the game.

What is not to like about our subs ffs?

We are far too hasty at writing players off.

Baker has struggled but is badly lacking match time and wouldnt be in the starting eleven if he wasn't rated by the manager.
Maybe better to judge him after 6 or 7 games.

Shaun just plays fantasy footy

Drivel

Bench was terrible when a 7m quid signing comes on l

Ayling, Berardi, Brown, Cooper all to come back yet.

The bench will look much stronger in a month or so.

Replace Saiz? Not sure he will unless he can get better than what we have.

Hopefully he gets better with a string of fixtures and a bit more match sharpness under his belt.
