Re: THE SUPER CLARETS vs Derby County - Match Thread

Can’t see Edwards starting too many PL games. Too much of a luxury player and the contrast between him and Anthony (and to a lesser extent a winger like JBL) is chalk and cheese. Just doesn’t do enough of the gritty defensive stuff, and we just can’t be in a position to be carrying any players.

Re: Where is Tuanzabe?

We don’t half seem to get plagued with constant injuries to several key players at any given time. It’s definitely got worse in the last 2-3 years.
