Day 288

Chris Shuker returned to training today, after three weeks out with a thigh strain. This means I’ll have the midfielder available for the last game of the season. I’m not sure if I’ll play him yet, though. With the title won, I must look to the future. And it may be more beneficial to play youngster Robert Taylor instead.

I’m caught in two minds. Shuker sat in the stands when we confirmed the title, but he was instrumental to us getting there, so I’d love him to be on the pitch for the final-day celebrations. But there’s a very real chance that young Taylor will replace Shuker as first-choice on the right flank by the end of next season, if he gets the minutes that enable him to grow as a player.
