I think some of the comments about Banks are a bit harsh. He had an up and down game, but basically Banks was Banks. He tries some things which don't come off and can seem lackadaisical at times, but he still produced several great through balls for Nors and has the best vision of any of the midfielders.
I think we will miss Perkins if he is out, although the extent of his injury is not yet clear. Harris played well with adrenaline yesterday, but whether he can do it for half a dozen games if we are in the play offs remains to be seen. However, the midfield is stronger than earlier in the season not just because of Perkins, but also due to Pringle and Morris. They are not typical wingers that go on darting runs and lose the ball, and their skill and ability to keep the ball, and the fact they stay narrow for quite long periods, helps to knit the midfield together and give us control.
All the best to AM in his new venture. I take it that if we do get to Wembley, he will be hosting the celebration party ?
