Sole is one of those players who can be delightful or frustrating. His pace and skill means he can take players on and beat them easily, but he can also be a bit greedy and not pass the ball to players in better positions. In a choice between him and Longstaff, I’d always go with Longstaff, but when our line up enables both to play we can cause real damage to teams. It comes down to who we pick as our “front four” given we’ve Bavidge, Wotherspoon, Zimba, Mckay, Longstaff and Sole competing for those places. We also then have MacKinnon, Allan and Alonge who can play in an advanced midfield role too, as well as competing with Chalmers and Stewart for the central midfield positions. Good decisions for Kell to have to make, but key ones as getting the line up right can be key.

Millen pulled up when running towards the ball, so definitely an injury of some sort and regarding substitution of Sole could be either or both, didn’t have his greatest 45, needs to move the ball on quicker.
