The Esajas injury gives us more problems down the left flank. Cibochi doesnt seem anywhere near fit, so it looks like Kennedy and Timlin on the left wing against Crewe? If so, they both need to play the entire game against Reading in those positions. I'll give Kennedy credit, he can put in a good cross.
J Smith reminds me of Owain Tudor Jones. He has a lot of promise, but he's only going to get better if he is playing first team games and that must be seriously in doubt?
Fingers crossed on Kerrouche, certainly looks like he can put his foot through the ball. Very clean strike for the goal.
Another striker would be ideal. But for me the problem areas that need strenghtening look to be the keeping (no sign of Lanzano last night?) and the left side.
Have you not forgotten that Matt Ritchie plays on the left side? With Ritchie there Atiku or Caddis can play right side which means Manks can go to Right back if Caddis plays right midfield
