I think for me looking at the squad last night v Bolton we probably are 1 short in a defensive mid field area, and I think we really need another addition at the back . When we start playing Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday every week and then the 2 cups it's a lot of games . Plus we are bound to pick up injuries and suspensions . Having said that though foreshaw is still to come back and shaugnessy can play defense and mid so what u think guys?

I get the principle of maintaining a small squad (there is not a surplus of players who are not getting a game bringing down the group) but injuries or suspensions to key areas will cause us problems. Still probably light a centre back, centre midfielder and a striker.

reading between line but don't think MB rates Shaugnessy, on the bench yesterday with deblock and only two first teamers not to get game time although fit.

with forshaw and baker I think we have enough quality in middle of the park but if MB don't rate Shaugassy (and even if he does) we really need a Cb as pontus will get suspended and coopers form will drop and as I may of mentioned before Beradi should be hung drawn and quatered for impersonating a footballer.

I think he is just easing shaunessy back in, didn’t have a preseason did he? Played last night for the under 23s. I think Bielsa has very clear views about the level of fitness he wants before players start. Struic is another cab option from the under 23s, had a good game this week.

I'm confident all of the lads will get a run out before the season ends. playing the way we do we will need to use everyone that we can.

Nessy would be the perfect back up to Phillips in that role as well i think.

With more experience Nessy can slot into that role, or indeed as part of the initial back line. I watched him closely for the 23's the other night, and he was very composed, with a good range of passing. I had heard that MB does rate him!?

Bielsa stated Nessy was in the plan one of the 22. Just needs to get his fitness levels up. He will figure as well as others, all have a part to play.
