Ballard being suspended

And to a certain extent Alderte being injured. With those two in defence together for the last few games we're not making Europe. Gerty and O'Nien have stepped up magnificently. We've been so much more solid and harder to score against in these last few games.

With all due respect that's nonsense.
 
We've performed against all sorts of decent premier league sides with combinations of each of them. Have no issues with the group as a whole and if they are capable of 30-35 games each we have a decent base to give europe a go.

Seems like the club might be moving on from cirkin in the summer so a new left back and/or a "nordi type" who can play LB or CB.

Yep. And Geertruida at RB is in our best back four.

Why it took so long to realise that is beyond me.

Sadly it's probably too late now when it comes to Geertruida.

No mukiele is the best rb mate 7 goal contributions
So alot of people are forgetting our 1st half of the season with Dan and Omar recency bias is a killer

O'Nien has been outstanding when called upon.

Gertruida has been magnificent these past few weeks. He's so connected with it all as well, we've gotta sign him.

5 goals against Forest and 4 against Villa would suggest otherwise

has anyone notice the correlation between the start of our push for Europe and the outbreak of hantavirus on that boat.

There’s so actual science behind it, but it is scientific fact

I now look at us as being a squad rather than just a team....there are times during a season where Ballard is the main man, other times when Aldarete is the main man, times when Nordi and O'nien are the best option.

Great to have some many quality players giving their all to he cause. Another good summer window and hopefully we will be well equipped for a comfortable season in the league and a real go at the Europa league.

Well said.

We need players at different times during a season.

Too many times we talk about a player getting game time and people say “aye but who drops out”

When I reality it’s hard to go all season and not pick up an injury.

Happens quite often when a player is coming back and then the person currently in the team picks up a knock.

Hopefully the experience gained by a lot of our young squad can kick on.
 
Can some people just not understand that it's a squad game, and all our players including two goalkeepers have played a major part in our success this season..Players get injured, suspensions and loss of form happens. We will have to relay even more on our squad next season because we'll be playing two games a week..
