Think you’re right about the central defensive position. Wasn’t convinced retaining Hogan was the best option in the summer and his appearances this season back that up. It’s not that he’s been really bad, more that he takes games to get up to speed - we saw that last season. He won’t get that opportunity.
The squad construction has been weighted too much towards the upper half of the pitch. Could br proven totally wrong by the end of the season, but I’m not sure what having Humbles/Mancini bring that Burger or Henderson don’t cover. Maybe one of the two, but both?
A central defender who can challenge EEL and cover Beckwith would have been preferred. |
Agree with that. |  | |  |

"We’ve also rested players and won..."
"The stats were an illustration that other clubs do the same in case there was a doubt they may not."
Apologies if i misinterpreted what you meant by this, from the post i replied to, but either way, glad you've cleared it up in your subsequent post |
Yep, we rest players and win, rest them and lose. It appears other clubs do similar.
Although today’s opponents haven’t lost any and have two top scorers with 4 goals. Mitchell has started 12 and been on the bench once, Knowles starting 8 and sub 5 times.
According to BBC Gloucester they have made four changes today, one enforced. They’ve said Savage rested players at Boston the other night and the “sweeping changes” today are “bold”. [Post edited 4 Oct 14:25]

Let's hope he's weakened his team by making the changes and they end up losing the game. The rested players at Boston were two youngsters according to Savage. Resting players isn't unusual but you need to have replacements who are equally as good if possible. As suggested, bring in a quality centre back and hopefully Smith with impress and then he can rotate Rodney and EEL if they cant string a run of games together. | | | |

Amantchi returning in January (or before) looks to be more likely that it did a few weeks ago. Can’t be certain of course, but the comments from the Walsall boss allied to his lack of game time lean that way.
He did pretty well only ten days ago against Solihull though, so there’s times for things to change.
If not, the obvious alternative appears unable to make it into the starting XI a few miles away in L2. If that’s not on the radar of player and those at Spotland, it would be a surprise. |
Salford lose at home. Jay Bird an unused sub. No starts since August and yet to score. | |
