Ah, had forgotten about Byram, not actually heard anything re his hamstring.
I should imagine that Farke is very bothered about us possibly being relegated! I know we have a longer term plan but I don't think deliberately going down is part of it!
We may find that it's a miraculous recovery and Jamal is elbowed out again.
We have different ways of knowing how Farke feels about relegation.
* What he says
He doesn't speak in negative way concerning relegation, often indicating that he has been expecting it all season.
* What he does
Farke, apart from a couple of notable exceptions, has played to his Plan A regardless of League position or opposition. His game management hasn't shown any urgency regarding accruing points to avoid the drop, rather, it's been simply to reinforce Plan A.
In his defence, he may well say that long term goals matter more to him etc but the impression I personally get is that he's not bothered.
