Tom Kirk injured? Not seen him in any capacity so far this

Interesting to see Duckworth in week 2 as the first outside Pro
to get a game in championship - albeit from the talents list.
In other news, not a strong start to the season appointments
wise for Tim Robinson…

Tim being Tony’s 4th man in the Championship with no PL
assistants feels odd but we will need to get used to it with the
new Pro Ref Group!
Almost called them SG1… 🫣

Just noticed Wood and Hopton both supporting Backhouse…after a
decent campaign last time out, I wonder if we may see him get a
PL debut soon following the merger
