You know life is good when a player like Pilkington won't be missed, not saying that in a bad way, more a compliment to the abundance of options in the squad. Personally feel Pilks offers something different than Massey and Lowe in terms of his experience, and trickery.
Last season when Jacobs and Massey got injured we struggled, now with the likes of Lowe, Bright, Naismith (who by the way is probably our best crosser of the ball) being able to player in his best position, Lang, Roberts, even Windass, can just easily come into the side without any impact to losing options in other areas of the pitch.
Players will get injured or suspended this season, and we are fully equipped to deal with that. Squad game.
More importantly now, players will now have the challenge of compeition in the side, Cook should now feel comfortable dropping someone if they are not peforming, last season that was an issue, some players were woeful, but kept getting picked because who else was there? If someone like Jacobs or Morsy, or whoever start to have a very poor run of games, then Cook has an easier time dropping them.
Make the players earn their spot by their peformances.
