Exiled in Toronto Mk2

A lot to like about that half.

Not unlike a lot of our wins this season: superb at the back, scab a goal up front. I liked Garrett, always showed for the ball from the centre halves. Dack has vision that the others don’t, execution is slowly getting back there. Hedges for me is the heartbeat of team. The front two leave me speechless. Gallagher has absolutely nothing, constantly loses possession, while Brereton either does a ludicrous dive or shoots and misses. It’s hard to defend a narrow lead high up the pitch when those two are the supposed outlet.

I interpreted sustainable as referring to staying in the Premier League after promotion rather than anything financial. Which, to me at least, explains his lack of interest in playing to the “strengths” of players like Gallagher and Travis, who aren’t good enough at this level, let alone the next one. I’ll be very interested to see who he ships out this window and the next. By talking about needing multiple windows, I think he’s basically told most of the senior players they’ll be on their way if they can’t do things like control and pass the ball.
