The simple answer is that we have never tried. Carlos was only really interested in signing back up players for the playoff final team. With the exception of Reach and possibly Fletcher. However he even left Reach out for the Huddersfield home leg , preferring the unfit trio of Wallace, who lasted 5 mins,Hutch and Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't work, but it felt like an attempt at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that's mostly down to the improvement of Lee and Hutch in CM over that period of time rather than not trying to improve our midfield. It would take £10m+ to improve on those two in this market. Just a shame about their fitness issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems very sensible. When everyone is back we've got a strong looking team I reckon: Westwood Venancio Lees Van Aken Hunt Reach Lee Hutchinson Bannan Hooper Forestieri Exactly the team I would have!
