I’m very sceptical about Ely starting, but like Dave, would be delighted if he proves me wrong. Also think it’s tough on Perraud being dropped even though I’m happy KWP is back in the team. Our bench is looking strong and that’s with SArmstrong out injured.
His contract is up at the end of the year. I wonder whether this is to try and convince him to sign a new one with more game time? I think he will always be a useful squad player for a club our size but is someone we should be looking to improve upon (like yoshida was) unless he really steps up Nevertheless not someone we want to lose for nothing
