I’ll give you an exclusive that Pinillos is in as he’s posting on Instagram from Birmingham. Good luck working out the other 17
As an experienced older head, I might have thought he’d have gone down - even if just to support in dressing room.
Sounded from his interview that Jose rates him. He'd need to show up a little better than he did in that u23 game, but as Thiam and Potts have already done just that I'd be hopeful. Creativity in midfield has been short supply lately so you'd have to think he's worth his chance.
True. To be fair, there’s only really the back 4 guaranteed a start - and Mills is injured anyway. The rest of the team, to me, has been up for grabs for a while. So he can’t go wrong really - nothing else has worked in midfield or up front so it’s not really a brave move - just something that was needed.
