The great thing about Helan doing well at LB is that we don't have to rush Mattock back. We have a bunch of games coming up so we will need a full squad, get him fit over the next week or so and ease him back in. He is a better defender than Helan, but Helan's pace allows him to make up for his mistakes. Going forward I think Helan is the better option, but that does require Drenthe to provide cover for him. Maybe putting Helan on the left wing, with Mattock at LB and Drenthe behind the front two would be an option, but that may be too progressive for SG!!
As regards Madine, I still think he can do a job for us, he knows where the net is and is the sort of striker that if we get the service right he will score. I also think having him upfront with May would give us two strikers who know how to score and run a front line. Hopefully this loan will get his confidence up and he will come back a better player.
