Hear me out, Harrison Armstrong should be a starter in this squad. Especially in home games if we want to be on the front foot. If we go away and want to be defensive, I can see Norgard coming in. But Harrison is as technically gifted as anyone on this team and knows how to find space.
There is no way he can be sent on loan this year.
On another note, Myko looked woeful to me. Aznou needs to play.
But overall, I think there is a lot of young talent on this team right now. Should have at least 4 players 20 and under who get good minutes this year (Key word should) .

Leave him alone, Atvk, he just had an off day, alright mate!

Well Armstrong has looked talented every game I have seen him play. He has a good football brain and can pass forward to allow players to run onto the ball. Should be playing every game.
Maybe we have a revitalized Barry!
Good win, but a back line of Patterson, Keane, Tarks and Mykolenko, hopefully, will not start against Palace.
Should be (new right-back, O'Brien, Branthwaite, Aznou) .
I know Aznou is raw, but has to be better than Mykolenko.

I get the feeling that Rohl is gonna be our RB this season. He's been played there an awful lot.

Obviously, I would like a RB, but a back line of Aznou, JB, JOB/Tarky, and Rohl doesn't sound too bad to me. It is pretty young, athletic, and can play with the ball at their feet.

The bottom line, we need two full backs, we know about the right back problem, but for me, neither of the left backs are of the required standard.
We still have time to fix this, and whilst I don't pretend to have a detailed insight to our finances, there are a number of fringe players who might raise 30/50 mill.

Totally agree. It’s not just a RB we need, but another LB, unless we give Anzou a good try, who I like whenever he plays, but I think DM doesn’t. We also need a striker will get 15+ a season in PL, and that’s not the BB twins.
