- There is no point in playing Nelson for next 6 games because we know exactly who he is and he's already got an extended contract here. Brown is most similar to Nelson (appears to be limited on the ball, not much threat in opposition's box) so we need to know if it's worth keeping him as a cheap, left-footed CB option or end his deal because he's too similar to Nelson and we only find that out by playing him at CB.
- Pack is our most intelligent midfielder but I struggle to see what skills he offers physically that Sang can't. If we can, Sang should be moved into midfield so we can hopefully develop him into our Bannan going forward for '22-'23. Or start them together so Pack can help lead him through the game.
- Harry Wilson's attitude coming off the bench was levels above Ojo's and he had some nice link up play with Watters. It's unlikely that Ojo is here next year so no point in him getting further game time whereas Wilson can help players develop and Watters/Moore might be our starting attack next year.
- Keeping some of Warnock's leaders and using them to help bring though our exciting youth prospects would be a very good use of next year. Having such an experienced manager to help bring them through would be a smart use of MM's time here.
2022-2023 season really isn't that far away so let's make moves now and in the summer that gives us the best chance of a run at promotion.
