A word for Slimane

I’ve been critical of his selection in that number ten role in certain recent home games and in the first half at Wrexham our midfield was a bit too stretched positionally but he’s really stepping up and in my eyes is now a genuine option in that number ten position rather than just a useful squad player.

Another that Clement has helped transform no doubt aided by fitness. With Oscar also showing some potential in that role perhaps our need for a number ten is not as chronic as thought, albeit id still like one.
