Did well last night, but the dynamics of the team have changed in recent weeks. Both Venancio and Pudil are good organisers and Thornily esp. is positionally quite sound and alot more mobile than Glenn. As others have said, Reach more vocal when deputising as captain and has been leading the way in terms of carrying the ball forward or moving it on quickly before opponents all set: box to box CM may be his niche. Glenn has been a good captain and player for us but Jos has to plan ahead and give others game time, especially if we can ensure relegation avoided this season. Priority in coming months should be to if/see how Tom Lees and Hutch (rather than Glenn) fit into the 3 CB mix and to try out George Boyd more often at LWB (when fully fit he certainly has the energy, is attack minded and OK in the tackle).
