I’d be concerned about Grounds match sharpness, same as when Antangana came in, the pace of the game is so quick these days I think it shows on these older players when they’re not playing regularly.
I wouldn't disagree, though I presume that his fitness would be taken into account. I just think that Sparkes loses out without Hartridge. If there is any doubt about Grounds' fitness then Caprice should be at LWB.
I’m not sure why MT has underused Caprice recently. I know Sparkes has done well. However for big parts of this season Caprice pace and carrying of the ball has been a huge threat for us.
It’s alright being a happy clapper, but we are trying to get promoted. Otherwise I’d be playing up front for us, getting paid to play for city and gladly taking your applause whilst I constantly ballooned the ball into the big bank!
Funnily enough I thought KMT should have brought Caprice on for Sparkes on Monday, I felt Jake's pace would have had more success against their right back than Jack had. And his crossing couldn't have been much worse.
I don’t think he’s been on the pitch since Oldham where he raced through in the last minute and put it on a plate for Jevani.
Ironically Phillips probably has the best goals to minutes ratio of our entire squad. As an aside, while I appreciate it's about more than finishing, who thinks Oz would have converted the chance Kieran did at Bradford?
Even if Grounds is fit to start he’s very unlikely to be able to play 3 full matches in a week.
