Kerridge, Sumner, Lamb rotating through the middle probably not good enough quality to give Gibbs and Cripps a chop out
I do agree we are very light on for midfield depth but my point is relating to his general leg speed away from a contest and having greater depth is not the answer IMO. That part of his game is well below last year levels and seems to just jog around when ball is in the open instead of sprinting to make space or link up with team mates.
That's why he was so damaging last year - he had the balance of inside grunt combined with clean damaging disposals away from the contest. Injuring his knee in a pre season game and considering its sill strapped is a possible reason.
