David Affengruber

A couple of times in that first half, Calvin Bassey did and Affenberger did.

Affengruber, sorry, should I say, did.

And...

Jackson actually moved him with his body and took that ball into himself and was able to get a counterattack.

I think it was them anyway.

And sent me a DM talking about David Affengruber.

So I don't know whether that's true.

I don't know what the story is.

The ball got broken down our left.

Jackson's running at Affengruber.

And to be fair, I didn't think David looked in any particular trouble.

But then he sees Castagne sort of running as well.

We've had to deal with the change of style twice.

So we started one way and he's made the changes and gone another way.

The signing of the summer will be Affengruber come May.

No, Shea Charles, yes.

And I said, oh, you know, he's a real pro.

And then he was dropped for Affengruber.

And then he came out and said, oh, I don't know why I've been dropped.

So it's kind of

As soon as you said, as soon as we praised him, he literally came out with that second letter.

And

it's just solidified that, okay, no, Affengruber... wouldn't have conceded that chance.

He would have got in front of him.

And then a few other new names.

Our centre-back, David Affengruber, came in to replace Joachim Andersen, who has been quite sidelined.

And he is very pacey and he is performing well.

And it's nice to have a fast centre-back for a change after...

You've got to utilise some of your squads to be able...

Because if, for example, a player goes down injured, let's say Affengruber...

And we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.

Affengruber goes down injured in the next couple of weeks.

like Joachim Andersen is going to have to play we don't have any other options to fill in in that role and so if we are talking about well if you're going to have to drop him in at certain situations you need to keep those kind of players at the very least on the on the fringes of the squad to be able to rotate and be able to fill in those gaps that's part of the reason of depth so if we had not played Joachim Andersen or Benjamin de Komp, let's say, as two examples in this game.

And I appreciate where people are coming from in terms of throw everything at the Carabao Cup.

I get it.

But if we hadn't, and then in two weeks time, Leno or Affengruber picked up an injury and you're throwing in two players ice cold into a Premier League season that's going to be a scrap.
