Posts #33 to #40 just demonstrate what an awkward position Mark Robins is in.
I might be over simplistic, or over optimistic, but the magic circle of PH, SM and JL have put this club in an enviable position.
PH will see training and current form for what it is. He also has experience of being forced to play people out of position and players starting carrying knocks.(by his own admission)
He has a good start (Apart from Watford) to look back on, and the attitude and professionalism of those who got the team where they are right now. The majority of our players have improved since August, making the PH job more difficult.
It really does not matter who starts at LCB or RCB because the bench will have quality and reliability enough to give Robins nightmares. Anel or Basham, Berge or McAtee, Sharp or McBurnie, Baldock or Bogle, Clark or Robinson, Lowe or Stevens, Doyle or Fleck.
Strong starting line up, with a scary bench to back it up. Individually and collectively any manager, ours or theirs, will have cause to be scratching his head.
PH holds all the cards and he will pick starters based on form, fitness and experience. PH will seek counsel from his management team, but the final decision rests with him. The squad ethos he has built is second to none.
All players will sweat blood for him, and for each other, knowing and trusting his decisions like we should do.
I hope Norwood and Ndiaye are fit to start, and provide the glitter that any home game deserves today.
