From here Carey is back, who will massively help us on the ball in the middle of the park, plus adds goal threat.
We didn't yet use Wright who looks a promising signing, but he'll be bedded in with training and games.
Then Patino to return, again another in the engine room and he can run the side and pick passes. Can make a huge difference as often we can fall down from midfield to attack, also defence to midfield.
Madine to return who adds the option of going longer.
But the main thing is the midfield, we were woefully short up to now.
Also we have Husband back who is always solid and Thorniley is playing well, we are figuring out our best defensive partnership. Still think Williams has a part to play and his height is valuable against some.
But seems to me we are now getting some key players back.
Again, midfield is the main area of excitement, as for all Dougall and Connollys qualities including pressing, playing through balls and pinging quality passes about etc isn't really their game.
Doesn't guarantee we're instantly going to win but certainly helps us in how we want to play, controlling the game, getting more chances etc.
Also Poveda had not played in a while and was not match fit, for his first full start he did well. Takes time to adjust and grow into the side, look forward to seeing him when hes settled and gelled.
Can't wait to see this team take shape now.
