Not sure about this week. MA must have trawled through our most of our matches from last season and can see whose faces fit amongst the training sessions going on. If he is going to change the system or look at competition for places then he probably has a list already in front of SS.
I got shouted down when I suggested just this on another thread, but that is how I understood the club operated. The Head Coach is here to organise training and coaching with some input into transfer targets, but far from having the final word.That's something the club should've been doing long before now, this early on it's really not Appleton's call, the club has a full season of training reports and matches watched live, feedback from Critchley and other staff, they're not suddenly going to ditch all that for feedback from videos and a couple of pre-season training sessions, that would be madness.
The club knew who they want to move on and what they want to bring in before the season ended, the fact that Critchley's now at Villa hasn't changed that.
