This exactly. I don't think we can just say they're "not fit" as an alibi for the rest of the season.

These are guys in their mid 20s, who have been with us 5-6 weeks now. Yes they need to get up to speed / match fit etc, but presumably they haven't been sat on a beach for 3months doing nothing eating biscuits.

We're not asking them to play 90mins every game either.

How miserably predictable that we would uncover a gem like Richard Kone and he’d be injured for some of the most important games we’ve ever played.

Apart from that I’d have expected Xavi for Leahy and found a place for Lowry on the bench. Part of me would rather have Gids at right back too.

They are all professional athletes, surely they should all be fit and ready for action ?!

Yes, they've had a couple of little run-outs, but really hard to judge their qualities so far.

Westy (if we can give him that nickname) was in for a tap in if Lubala had seen it one game, but apart from that very little indication of how they're going to fit in.

At least we're covered without them for a while.

I think the disappointment with Westy is that he was signed soon after it was clear Morley wasn't being signed, and for massive money, so we hoped he was the replacement. When he seems a totally different player - from what we've seen so far, which isn't much!

Your last two paragraphs are spot on, I reckon.

I’ve personally been very disappointed with the Danish cameos. They really haven’t brought home the bacon 🥓.

Harsh but right decision.

Could anybody planning to say Dodds Out in 2 hours time, please take a number.....

Come non Northampton, where's the display they put in v us.

From what I’ve sent so far Anders and Magnus seem not just a little off, but miles off the pace of English football.

Surprised Leahy is in as opposed to Simons but Norris and Bradley keeping their places makes sense. Surprised none of the other new boys on the bench. Record signings nowhere to be seen. Surely for the money we paid , they should have made the 18 at least . Bizarre.
