I also picked up on that. Annoying that Placheta and Matt P (who were two of our ‘riskier’ signings given Phillips already had a bit of a reputation, and Placheta had just been out with a big injury) have dropped almost immediately and now join Goodwin in the seemingly never-ending ‘back in a few weeks’ that seems to cycle over and over.
Thankfully the squad is far more equipped to deal with it. We’ve barely seen Dale yet this season. Sibley can play wide too. Tyler & Dembele have started really well. Edwards is feeling his way back. We’ve got Ebiowei too. So it’s not like we need to rush them back or it’s desperate without them. But Phillips’ size and experience, and Placheta’s raw pace, have looked like such assets in the brief glimpses we’ve seen. It’s a shame that the ones we took more of a ‘punt’ on have almost instantly gone down…
