I think recently when Super Kev has played after losing his place in the team he looks to have upped his game and deserves to keep his place at right back imo. So drop Connolly to the bench and I thought Kim Bo was excellent against Blackpool and also deserves to keep his place in the side. Ralls has impressed me in the development games this season and this second half of the season maybe his time to stake his claim in the match day squad ahead of Mutch because Mutch has not hit the form he was producing at the start of the season, before he got injured.
Nerve problems can be a pain in the backside and it might take Jordon a while to get past this problem. Seen enough of him early on this season to say that he could make a very big impact for us next season though!
I'm torn between whether to have Mason or Smith on the bench!
Both very good players. Mason never lets us down and can play out wide if he needs to just like Smith can play out wide as well up top. Smith impressed me at Blackpool but Mason although he didn't score I thought he also put in a very solid display against Blackpool.
This competition in the squad is keeping everyone on their toes and bringing the best out of everyone. After the hot training and relaxation in Dubai too expect a BIG performance tomorrow because they are going to be nice and fresh!
