Good to see young Steven in the lineup. Also, Williams seems to be doing great since returning from a disappointing loan spell.

Can anybody explain to me why the first team need TWO centre half's on the bench but the likes of Williams and LVC can never get in to the squad ?
If you go behind in a game you need variety on the bench, something that we continually lack.

Where is James husband? Would he not be in these types of games? I.e. He wasn't in the boro line up

It does seem strange does'nt it? They would have to be better than their last appearances but I would much rather see Williams or LVC pushed harder than watch a loanee take up the space on the bench or even on the pitch. If they are not better than their last appearances Motspur Park has been a waste of time.
Plan C,D and E might be needed soon enough.
