Introduction: Shorter Podcast Due to International Break
00:00:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to another edition of the Daily Palace podcast brought to you by the Global Sports Podcast Network, JSPN. Wale Bakker is my name and it's great to be on the show tonight. it's um well we're We're having a brief version of the podcast this week ah because it's an international ah break and I love the players away.
00:00:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah with their countries, that no club football, and we'll just be having two episodes this week, today and of course on Friday, all things being equal.
Palace's Season Struggles
00:00:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, it's me, and of course, Fiend Bolden tonight. Fiend, how are you doing? Great to see you.
00:00:53
Finn
Thanks, Wylie. Yeah, I'd be much happier if I'd ah seen a fantastic Palace performance at Cellar on Saturday. but Sadly, ah that is not what transpired, but I'm sure we'll get into that.
00:01:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, you know, it's but it's it's it's somewhat a recurring theme, you know, this season. We've had more episodes, you know, talking about poor performances you know, about wins. But, well, ah we can only hope it gets better after the international window, whether with the international break ah gives us a perfect opportunity to attempt to sum up the season so far. ah For many people, ah the last international break of the year is seen as the start of real business you know in the season. It's been 11 games already, one win, four parlors, four draws, six losses, unfortunately.
00:01:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah The ah goal ratio of the greatest it's my um you know, minus seven at the moment, you know for palace and it's not just great ah the way things have gone ah so far ah this season there are you know already talks about what glasner needs to do what the club needs to do already talks about maybe there's the need for changes a lot of things that you would expect now with ah the kind of results ah that ah that we've seen so far ah this season fin let let's talk you know with
00:02:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
you know, ah trying to sum up what the season has been, ah you know, so far for Palace. Just a couple of weeks ago, we were able to, you know, talk about the first Premier League win, and then there was that fantastic win against Villa, and well, there was the draw um afterwards, but at home against Fulham, we were quite optimistic. Fulham looked like the better side all through the game. A lot of unforced errors, especially from the back line. ah ah You know, Maximus Lacroix has been one of the um better players for Palace this season, but it did seem like, against Fulham, things were just not going his way. what When you look at the season so far, I know Shambolic is as as one of the words to describe it, but how do you sum it up in a lot of words?
00:03:12
Finn
Well, we're a family-friendly podcast, so I can't use my one word. um and i'll sub it for a I'll sub it for a different one, beginning with D. Disappointing. It's been a disappointing season, I feel. But I think we even sort of hinted at this in the summer and pre-season that because obviously there was outgoings like Michael Alise, Eberich Herze and Margahey both looked like they were going out the door as well. And there was a lot of other changes as well. Players like, which seemed pretty insignificant at the time, but players that we sort of, we, I suppose we wish we could even have now, like Jordan Ayu. I mean, I was at the game on Saturday, the first time I've physically been that cellist for more than a year. So I was sort of like quite,
00:04:01
Finn
excited to just go down and drink in the atmosphere and see my friends and stuff like that but I was also well under I was well aware that Fulham are in a ah very good run of form at the moment and a really good team with a good manager and I knew that it was not going to be an easy game by any means and I really thought Palace are going to have to play really well I think to get any form of result and that's unfortunately not what happened I think A combination of injuries, a lot of injuries, some short-term, some long-term to our squad have really shown how threadbare it is and how, I mean, he was probably one of the few positives of the game, but Justin Deboni having his, um, his league debut for Palace. And he was actually, I think he only, he, I think me and my dad were saying afterwards, I think he only maybe made two errors in that entire game.
Impact of Injuries and Squad Depth
00:04:59
Finn
he was otherwise was outstanding and I thought he really sort of shone bright in what was quite a ah ah dismal performance for that team. I think the season's been disappointing because there was a lot of expectation about where Palace were going to kick on and sort of build from last season but I think the problem is they were expecting us to build or to progress with a team that, well, it's changed completely. It's not the same team that was there last year. And I think, I mean, my my friend turned to me during the game and said, what's what's your solution to this? And I said, well, he goes, do you think Glasner is a good manager? And I said, Glasner is an excellent manager. I said, I don't know if this is the squad to do what he wants to do, though.
00:05:46
Finn
I said, I think, I think Glazner has a really particular style and way of, of setting up his teams and playing. And I think the players, it's this is no, I just don't think they're good enough to do his system. And I think with, with absentees like Eberichieze and Jefferson Lermer and Adam Wharton, it really shows like.
00:06:12
Finn
Palace are not in a great spot at the moment, and I think it's a case where come January, and maybe they'll pull the trigger before then, who knows, but in January, they either have to fully back Glazner and give him the resources and the players he needs to, one, to stay in the league, which is something that we never thought we'd be saying at the start of the season, but that is our reality. um And two, to sort of play the football that he wants to play,
00:06:40
Finn
and three to push on because this is really a serious blip in what palace's development should be and i feel like it's it's there's no one thing to blame i feel like it's like as as with many of these things it's a combination of factors it's lots of injuries, it's transfers not really working out. I think unfortunately I can't really think of a player that's come in since the summer and has been outstanding. I think you made a really good point there about maximums la croix, maximums la croix excellent player.
00:07:14
Finn
really really good footballer but again he pulled two world-class tackles out of nowhere um during that game on Saturday and then gifted them their first goal it was like it was just it was so it was it was endemic of our season that's how i'll put it i think he just there's certain lack of composure and lack of concentration throughout the team and i feel like it's at times like this you really need like leaders people who are going to just sort of just kick in and say right guys get get get your heads in in the right space get your heads in the game and just let's go for it let's go at them there's just no
00:07:55
Finn
Fulham were very well composed. They were really good, part really good passing play. And they just looked like a team that just knew what they were doing. They'd set out and they'd come out and they just had their plan and they stuck to it.
00:08:05
Finn
And I sort of joked that it was a game of two terrible strikers.
00:08:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:08:10
Finn
John Philip Mattetta on our team, he just, sorry, was just, I love, I love John Philip, but he was terrible on Saturday. And Raoul Jimenez, who had a better game than Jean-Philippe Mateta, but was by no means was by no means dangerous. I think he was, and I just thought the difference though is that even though both these teams are quite toothless up front, the passing from Fulham and their tactics and the way they stretch the pitch and came in from out wide and had players like Emile Smith-Roe and Reece Nelson and later on Adama Chaira and stuff like that coming on. and
00:08:45
Finn
It's really stretching the pitch and making things difficult for Palace, just shows you that they're in a real deep dark spot at the moment.
00:08:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, man, I like i ah totally hear you and you you you make a very good point when you ah talk about, you know, Fulham appearing like a team that knew what they were doing because ah yeah they they played more confidently. They also seemed like they they just looked all game all through the game like the the team that was going to get a win if there was going to be ah you know ah three points in that game and for some reason Palace just couldn't you know get their acts together on but you you talk about the players you know or the squad not being ah what may be not being what will leave a glass in the need for his style for for what for his plans and what he intends to do but then
00:09:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
but he's had a transfer window of the summer. And he must have played a major role in deciding which players you know came into the club. And after the transfer window, we all looked at that squad and we thought, yes, well, ah you know, um ah or Lisa left, but there's been great ac acquisitions.
00:09:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe Joachim Anderson was you know fantastic in the game, by the way, ah leaving also was a bit of a shocker.
00:10:00
Finn
He really was. And I just want to say, I want to just also call out all those Palace fans that booed him in the stadium. Disgraceful, ridiculous thing to do.
00:10:11
Finn
He was sold by the club. He did not choose to leave.
00:10:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
meh.
00:10:14
Finn
he's's He's now playing at Fulham, not because of his own decision, but because the club sold him. So for you to boo a player like that who gave two I think it was three three seasons to Crystal Palace and was a real stalwart player and it still for me is like a Palace legend. I feel like people really need to sort sort themselves out and as you said I think he was actually excellent during that game.
Racial Abuse Investigation
00:10:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, so speaking of disgraceful, I should very quickly mention that the you know the the club is investigating a led racist abuse in the Dai Chi Kamada as well. He got a red card in the game, and there's been ah you know some reports of um you know a couple of fans um you know um ah directing racist abusers towards him, and the club is looking into that.
00:10:57
Finn
Yeah, i mean it's it's just to just disgusting.
00:10:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
that That's abhorrent.
00:11:00
Finn
I don't care like how bad your team's doing or what's happening. There's never an excuse for any of that. There are plenty of reasons to be critical of someone's sports performance.
00:11:12
Finn
You don't ever have to There's no way, there's no reasoning forever for going for someone, insulting someone about their ethnicity, about their religion, about their sexuality. It's just ridiculous. And I'm really, it's it's just like we have this at every single football club in the world, just groups of idiots who feel it's their their right. They buy a ticket and they can come and vent their frustration out on on people.
00:11:39
Finn
and Deitchi Kamada did not have a good game and unfortunately that red card was sort of like a summary of that performance but there is no way that that's ever justifiable and like to those Palace fans that were doing that just get lost don't want to see you there just ridiculous
00:11:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:11:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's really disappointing. you're You're totally right. But just just before we, you know, take a pause, um let's so very quickly. i I was saying earlier, you know, Glaston has been part of the summer transfer window, you know, um was a huge part of players that came in. Lacroix was a player that's played with him before. You know, it was a man, it was a player who wanted to go as man. Trevor Taloba came in. Eddie Nkatea, you know, the club splashed a lot of money, you know, to bring him in.
00:12:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah There's been chat Chad Ariad, of course, came, although he's been injured. But, you know, he's brought in a lot of players. And at the end of the transfer window, we all looked at that squad and thought, oh, that's a decent squad, but the results haven't been great. So um can we necessarily say that, because you you talked about, you know, the club giving him resources in January and backing him, ah wouldn't you say he's had resources already in the summer and the club did back him, you know, to bring in players that they wanted?
00:12:52
Finn
No, you're right. I think ah you're absolutely right. I think he did, obviously, he brought players in like Daichi Kamada, who he'd worked with before, Maximus Lacroix again, um and other players that he'd obviously identified in the league um from other so-called bigger clubs the in Chalabar and in Ketsuya to come in. and And we know what they're capable of. I just think it's a really bad
00:13:18
Finn
well it's bad luck on our part but also just there seems to be a lot of players that are out of form all at the same time and it's okay maybe when you have one or two players that are not playing well consistently but i think when all of your acquisitions seem to be struggling as i said there's different levels with it with maximum sakura it was one big mistake that he made during that game which really sort of cost us. Otherwise, he was a really solid a defensive piece. Um, Eddie and Katia, the issue with Eddie is he just is not got his shooting boots on and is just lacking confidence. I feel like all it needs is a bit of a cliche, but all he needs is one goal. I think with one goal, the rest will come. I mean, look at Gianfilla Mateta. He was, his career was almost like over a palace before that purple patch last season. So it can all, it can all change. The the narrative can change quickly.
00:14:08
Finn
I mean, hopefully me and you will be, yeah we'll be talking about this in a month or so in a totally different light, but who knows? Um, Trevor, again, I think he's, he's an excellent player.
00:14:21
Finn
I just think he's lacking. He's because he hasn't played consistently for a
Managerial Considerations: Future of Glasner
00:14:25
Finn
while. And I think he just has moments where his concentration goes and that will progress and get the but that will get better.
00:14:32
Finn
I feel with the more time and the more minutes he has with us.
00:14:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
You're welcome.
00:14:35
Finn
And I just think we just need. There just needs to be a bit more solidity. There just needs to be a bit more resolve amongst the players. I feel like they don't fight enough for it i know that sounds again that's not that seems a bit vague but i just feel like it's it felt so flat on saturday and even with that was with like half an hour of the game to go that's more than enough time you would think to sort of gather and rally around and and get at least a point from the game or and get something i mean palace had to we had the palace were we only conceded two goals in the end but in reality because of
00:15:15
Finn
VAR and other things we we we could have it could have been worse could have been 4-0 and that would have easily been that would have been a justifiable scoreline that was what I saw in front of me so but um yeah I feel like as you said going back to your going back to your point he has had investment but this is the this is the Premier League and if you want to maintain that you sometimes have to dig deeper into your pockets and if you look at the teams that are around us at the moment um They will be doing the same and I feel like Palace probably did have a financial plan set out in the year and I think Steve Paris has even said this before about Crystal Palace, how he has a financial plan for when we're doing quite well in the league, maybe we're from the top half and when he has a financial plan for when we are in relegation or in contention for relegation.
00:16:08
Finn
And I feel like he's probably looking at that latter plan now, because because for many different reasons, the first plan has not come to fruition. And I think we he needs to now really decide, is Glasna going to be the person to get us out of a sticky position? I hopes i hope he is.
00:16:26
Finn
Cause I think he's an excellent manager and I think he really, I think with the right tools and with the right, with the right team and with the right players fit, he can, he can, he can do whatever he needs to with Crystal Palace. But at the moment I feel like it's slip, we're slipping into now or may may even already be in that in a place where we're in a relegation scrap and you may need a certain type of.
00:16:53
Finn
tactics and certain type of manager to be able to get out of that because it's one of those things it's a it's a bit like a a sinkhole once you're in you need to think you you need a certain certain tactic for getting out not just scrambling
00:17:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, yeah. well Well, we'll get more minutes, you know, to talk about Olivier Glass now in a bit. We'll take a very quick pause ah and, you know, take some message from one of our sponsors on the podcast. um Here at Global Sports Podcast Network, we spent a lot of time selecting our delivery platform.

00:17:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
All right, thank you for staying with us. It's still the Daily Palace port brought to you by a Global ah Sports Podcast Networker Toilean Finn on the port tonight. And we spent the you know ah well a lot of minutes you know talking about the season so far for Palace and understandably Finn's got a lot to say. I'm sure you know it could go on and on dissecting what's going to happen at Palace. But we just before we went to that pause, we touched on Olivette Glastner and you know, weather ah is the man to to dig palace out. And I just wonder whether ah this is maybe reminiscent of what we've seen before with palace. There's been times when the club decided, well, we've we've played the
00:18:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah just result-oriented, escaping relegation football. We can get a bit, ah ah we can you know get a be ah what's the word now? We can begin to talk about playing flamboyant football and you know begin to look up the table.
00:18:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah There's been, ah you know, flirtations with ah Frank Dubois. There was, ah you know, the the former Arsenal captain, Vieira, which, you know, so many Palace fans never understood the decision to sack him anyway. And then, you know, Otsun came back and, you know, steadied the ship, so to speak.
00:19:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's already talks about one, David Myers, a couple of clubs saying, oh, well, there's been reports of a couple of clubs interested. And Crystal Palace is one of them. And you know those kind of stories don't just fly out of thin air. there There must have been some discussions. I just wonder what that does for Glaustein. Yes, it it's the business. ah Ruben Amarin who was ah united now.
00:19:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
came all the way to England to have talks you know with some clubs while he was still at sports in Lisbon. So it's the business. There's always you know talks going on amongst clubs and agents and managers and players. But I just wonder you know what all these rumors of David Moyers will do for Glasner and whether Moyers is that type of manager that, well, I don't want to begin to think about the possibility of Glasner leaving. But if he does happen, it's a Moyers for you, Finn.
00:19:55
Finn
I mean, there's a thousand other managers I'd probably pick before David Moyes, but he has the experience of playing in the league, of managing in the league has mixed sort of results with that.
00:20:09
Finn
I think he's his best spell really was with, um, was well with Everton years ago.
00:20:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
have but
00:20:15
Finn
Um, but also, uh, when he led West Ham to, um, the Europa, was it the Europa was it the conference league with conference?
00:20:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
conferencely but was it conference like I think we got to the semi-finals and the Europa League the next season, I think.
00:20:23
Finn
Yeah. With the conference league. Um,
00:20:28
Finn
Yeah. So I mean, that's, that's pretty impressive. I just feel like it's pretty attritional football. And I feel like for those who have, for example, who, who remember when Roy came back and just a great servant to the club, but very difficult sometimes to watch Roy Hodgson's brand of football.
00:20:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I saw Roy doing some UEFA job the other day, so it's very much fit.
00:20:49
Finn
Um,
00:20:53
Finn
Yeah, he might be back. Who knows? I mean, might I did jokingly say it to my dad as we were walking back and he went, no, not again. But um yeah, I just feel, I think you make an excellent point where Palace seem to be in this sort of limbo between, as you said, sort of results-based football, which secures survival and secures the place in the Premier League, or trying to do this more expressive, expansive European brand of football where We sort of, which we would sort of on the precipice of last year, but we always knew things like it was very difficult. So we're going to hang on to Michael Alise, Eberice Marghehi. If we still had that squad and we can't really think of that because that's not how sport works.
00:21:39
Finn
I'm sure things will be very different this season, and but Michael Lisa is playing at Bayern Munich and by God he deserves to be there. He's a phenomenal footballer and I'm just, I said this to my friend the other day, we were just, we were blessed to have him full stop at Crystal Palace, even if it was for that amount of time. Um, I just,
00:22:00
Finn
I feel, I think they're going to stick with Glazner because they've seen him as a long-term investment. They know, obviously as well, I mean, with no offense to David Moyes, but I think they know as well that just with the market, the way it is at the moment, there isn't a huge amount of Premier League managers or managers who can manage a Premier League club of that caliber available at the moment.
00:22:27
Finn
And I just feel like one, I mean, we talk about finances, it costs a lot of money to get these new managers in and to basically pay off someone, the rest of someone's contract, start a new contract for somebody else, maybe retain their staff, get rid of stuff, bring in new stuff.
00:22:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:45
Finn
It's very complicated. I feel like some people seem to think that it's very sort of smash and grab and it's like not at all. It's like there's so many complex things to these things. As you even said, like Reuben Amorim with Manchester United, that's something that's clearly been under the, been in the works and it's still technically under the works. He's still not there physically. And, uh, it's, it's, it's very, it's a, it's very much a balancing act and, um, a very complex procedure, but I'm just hopeful I know I'm going to try and be optimistic on this.
00:23:16
Finn
I know I've just sat there and gone, wah, wah, wah, mode.
00:23:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
if
00:23:21
Finn
I'm hopeful that with a few of our injuries, when when of our some of our players recover and come back, that again, that momentum that we seem to have had with the Tottenham game, with the Aston Villa game, they can sort of regain some of that.
00:23:35
Finn
and they can really kick on and get a few needed results. I really think it would have been the game against Fulham probably wouldn't have been as bad if we'd won against Wolves as well I feel. I feel that was a real opportunity to win that game and I feel because well both us and wolves are so defensively frail we sort of threw that one away which is a real shame but um yeah what are your thoughts while they tell me what do what do you think does does should glass the stay or do you think that they should get a new face in?
00:24:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:24:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah but It's always very um sad when you see a manager lose their job, but then we're we're well aware it's a result-oriented business. um At some point, there will be calls you know for Isaac, but I would rather think it's a bit still very early.
00:24:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Yes, there's been 11 games. There's already you know talks at the other end of the table about you know what the title race could look like. So why not talk about you know what the relegation battle could look like. And from from what we see, um Palace might just really, really be primed for that relegation battle ah he did this season. and
00:24:50
Finn
I mean, Ipswich won their first Premier League game.
00:24:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, even wolves wolves got the first victory, you know, so so it looks like palace will be in that relegation battle ah those glass now have the Well, of course he hasn't been in the Premier League relegation battle but you know palace were Maybe just above the relegation zone when he joined and you know, he just transformed things So I would back him to transform things.
00:24:53
Finn
Why not?
00:25:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
I would give him that opportunity um maybe till January, maybe. um The hope will be that things will be better at that time, but there's some really tough games coming up you know for Palace. And i just although while these games are tough, there are also games you know that you know ah you can use for the players and say, look, it's now and ever, guys. We we we need to get you know results in this game and use it as a springboard too.
00:25:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
you know, maybe improve things in the coming weeks. But but it's totally, totally understandable ah that there's been already talks about ah the possibility of him being the next manager to leave ah Premier League club. ah But i would back um I would back him to stay. um if If results don't improve in the next couple of weeks, then I really wouldn't be surprised, you know, if Palace pulls the plug. But We'll see how he goes. Well, you were able to get a thought out of me. I was really open. you know Not to say what I really thought, but we'll take another pause. And when we return, we'll very quickly take a look at what's happening. withu The doctors seem to have been very busy at Palace. And um you know ah what's the situation with players coming back after the international window?
00:26:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah well the the guys later the week later in the week would have enough time you know to look at it of of the next games and we've got next week to do that as well though but we'll take a pause and we'll talk about ah you know some of the players that will be returning for Pallas.
00:27:34

injured. It's quite annoying that there's no clarity really as to ah the expectation after the international window, because with a Baratieza he's missed two games now, whether it will be available after the international window, ah the club's still hopeful, there's no clarity, there's also no clarity as to how long
00:28:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Eddie and Katia will be out for very strange circumstances surrounding his injury.
00:28:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
How long he will be out for, we don't know. um Adam Wharton, we know, has now had a surgery for his you know persistent groin problem. Looks like it will be away for another four weeks.
00:28:57
Finn
Yeah.
00:29:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Jefferson Lemma is another one that maybe could be back after the international outbreak. um So many, so many, ah you know, of the players, you know, not just Claire.
00:29:18
Finn
and just It's like a long squad listener.
00:29:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, not just Claire, you know, what it is. And there's a very important players. Aizay, I'm sure, you know, Glastner would love to have him back. And Ketya, he would love to have him back, especially with the run of games coming, Finn.
00:29:38
Finn
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, just referencing what you said there about the Eddie and Kettier injury, very odd circumstances. appear I mean, it appears to be he injured himself not at Palace's training facility, but with um a personal PT.
00:29:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Personal trainer, yeah.
00:29:55
Finn
which I think quite a few Premier League footballers and professional footballers seem to be doing this now where they seem to have their own and I'd be interested to know legally how that works with with with with clubs and players because I mean I'm sure they I think Palace have even said that they were pretty I'm trying to think of the political way of saying this. They were pretty disgruntled and pretty annoyed that this said that this had transpired, especially because if it happens at their training facility, that's fair enough. That's on the club. That's something that's within their control. It happens with an external um an external ah practitioner or sport. For example, I always think of like Nicholas Bentner complaining that he couldn't go skiing whilst he was contracted to Arsenal.
00:30:39
Finn
ah But um yeah, so maybe Eddie just needs to avoid ah working out in the park with his mates. But yeah, and in terms of the others, yeah, Adam's going to be recovering from his groin injury. Hopefully Ebs and Jeff will be um somewhat fit.
00:30:57
Finn
in a few weeks after after the international break, we'll see. Franka, unfortunately Franka is in danger of becoming another Nathan Ferguson, I feel, at the club where we might never really see him play because he's just, his legs seem to be made of rubber.
00:31:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:31:12
Finn
um And Chadi Viad, I mean, Chadi's probably just will be someone we maybe see later on in the season and probably will come in just as someone else's crocs themselves.
00:31:24
Finn
um just at the only but and I'll sprinkle another bit of positivity and it's really nice to see um two youngsters as well um come on in the game against Fulham on Saturday in what was quite a disappointing performance, but those guys at least came on and got some minutes in Ashog Menone and Caleb Cabora. I hope I've pronounced those correct correctly. I'll do my research.
00:31:46
Finn
um And yeah, it was just nice to see some players from the Academy getting some minutes. And that is one thing that I suppose we still are very proud of at Palace and something that we will probably now have to utilize in the next in the next
00:32:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
Upcoming Challenges for Palace
00:32:01
Finn
few months is the the youngsters in the Academy.
00:32:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:32:03
Finn
So hopefully, as just ah just Justin Deboni did as well, some of these guys can come on and really stake a claim for their place in the squad.
00:32:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, um after the international break, very, well, tough run of games, so to speak, considering our pilots have been doing Villa away, Newcastle are all Ipswich away, and then there's Man City are all Man Brighton.
