That was a surprise seeing him on the teamsheet. It seems he played well which is good to see as he played a big role last season and was always a pleasure to see play.
I cant see much difference in quality between Danny and Dale, the trouble is that they are so similar in style, strengths and weaknesses. I personally would not want to see either of them leave but I think at least one will this closed season. The problem for them both is that they don't seem able to play as a pair in this league and with JJ moving inside recently there is only room for one other in a 442. That one other must be a holder as we have seen, which is not Danny's strength or Dale's.
Maybe he was being showcased or CP was having another look. It was certainly unexpected though!
Was really impressed with Hollands yesterday, it could be because I was looking at him more closely, but I thought it was best performance in the Championship to date
I am pleased to hear that he may be back in form. We need him. Why sign Gower if we have a fit and motivated Hollands and Hughes. I suspect that Stephens will be gone in the summer
SHG - I agree. Although I was impressed with Hollands yesterday he took up JJ's place in the side as the more advanced CM while Gower filled in for Hughes as a DM. Couldn't have both JJ and DH alongside each other.
Think Gower would be a good signing as Hughes isn't reliable injury wise and we have no other recognised DM. Except for Rouamba, but who knows what he's like..
Hollands and Stephens are like a championship version of Gerard or Lamaprd. Think Stephens is more lowly to score a winning goal, but Hollands last year was more consistent. For all they've played this year, I'd swap both for a younger, less injury prone Hughes - if such a player exists
