Re: Will we stay up
Imo it depends on the fitness and form of JBG. If he stays fit and finds some of his old creative form I think we will just about survive.
Garlick and Dyche have not recruited any 'quality' competition/cover at right half back and we could pay very dearly if JBG gets injured again.
