Injury woe could yield Bielsa chance to rediscover early season’s form in positive twist

|

The Whites take on Aston Villa this weekend in what is going to be a very tough game for us for sure.

Of course, we were hoping to be playing for a top two spot but it looks as though we’re not going to get that now, unless Sheffield United deliver a shocker against Ipswich Town.

We must try to go into the play-offs in good form, though, and that starts this weekend against another of our play-off rivals.

Marcelo Bielsa has some selection calls to make, too, with Ezgjan Alioski out for the season.

On the face of it, that is a blow, of course, but we could well get a positive twist to come out of it.

Indeed, if he plays Gaetano Berardi and he can refind his form from the start of the campaign, it will soften the blow of Alioski missing considerably.

Certainly, Berardi was excellent at the start of the campaign and if he can get back to that, we can still be solid defensively.
