Who would you think would line up against Adams if Marlon Pack said, look, I can't give you even 60, so keep me up your sleeve and I'll come on at 65?

70 minutes if you need me.

Who goes in in place of Dezel, injured, and Pac out of Puff?

Well, could I throw a curveball at you?

And it's this.

We have come to appreciate meat and menace in midfield with Pack and Adams.

That's what they provide.

I'm not saying Dezell is lightweight, but compared to Pack and Adams, he is a little.

If we wanted someone with meat and menace to stand alongside Adams, would you consider Connor Ogilvie?

He's on my mobile phone contact list, but I've not rung it yet.

I've had it on there for four years, but I don't feel like bothering him.

He's got other things on his mind.

Yeah, he's a busy chap.

He is a busy chap.

I'm sure he'd listen to your tactical advice.

What about Mr Caballero, Senor Caballero?

You haven't seen a lot of him, but quite a few people, including John Massino, quite like what they've seen.

Interesting, you should mention that the current edition of Private Eye runs this thing called Coleman Balls, which is a collection of mistakes by sports commentators.

And I won't name the ex-footballer who said it, but he pointed out that it was Guardiola who invented introverted left backs.

Which was quite good.
