Somebody somewhere is trolling us big time . Buffon now totti being linked whilst out hottest young talent is being sold at bargain basement prices . Weird . I think if we start the season how we finished last season we will struggle to be mid table and bielsa will be gone and we will be back to square one.

Ignore it mighty. It’s like the time Billy wanted to sign Maradonna!

25 Jun 2019 19:59:39
Mighty, let’s not forget that on that fateful night against Derby we were without, Pontus, Douglas, Alioski, Roberts and Roofe, and for a number of those for a few games! Getting those back fit at the start of the season might make a bit of a difference!

They were all fit with 6 games to go at the end of the last season Bielsa had a full squad to choose from for the blades game.

No, actually we didn't have a fully fit squad with 6 games to go. No matter how many time you write that sentence it just isn't true

We had bad luck with injuries, unfortunately more so than our rivals at the top, but that's competitive sport for you.

With a small first team squad it can hurt to a greater extent than those who are carrying large squads. However, in reverse, all those players in the large squads have to be kept happy which is a skill in itself, one that most managers fail at, hence all the agents touting their clients to every club.

This season we have youngsters, who now have first team experience, to call on
BPF
Shackleton
Davis
Halme
Roberts
Wilks
Pearce
so our squad is going to be bigger and more robust for this seasons challenge.

Just because you say it not true doesn't alter the fact that it is. Bielsa had a full squad with no injuries for the blades game. If not tell me who was missing.

26 Jun 2019 10:43:15
Checked again and with 7 games to go Bielsa had a fully fit squad.

26 Jun 2019 10:50:00
Wex. Just wrong. Factually incorrect. Simply Alioski and Douglas alone were unplayable, Roofe too. Maybe Pontus could’ve played, but he wasn’t fully fit.

26 Jun 2019 11:44:32
Roofers on the bench.

26 Jun 2019 11:47:36
Alioski started against Birmingham and Roofe came off the bench against Birmingham 6 games to go.

26 Jun 2019 12:38:27
In my post, I only mentioned the one game against Derby because that was the one we had to win. We started without Alioski, Roofe, Pontus, Douglas, Davis and Forshaw. That group of players would make a big difference and hopefully all will be fit to start the season.

The bench that night included, pascal Struick, Robbie Gotts And Bogusz, all of whom could feature more this year.

All of the under 23 squad will have benefited from the years experience, success and training in the Bielsa way. Whatever you think of Radz, we are not far away!

Jansson played against Sheff Utd. I remember him going in goal.

26 Jun 2019 20:34:14
So wex, you’re literally talking about six games before the end of the season, not all of the last six games. I seem to recall in the third game of the season everyone was fit too. Dunno what your point is. All I know is, that the game that really mattered vs Derby, we were not at full strength.
