Thing is, this time last year, Markov was playing well, and WHE was in defence late in the season. Neither of those things are happening atm. So he probably gets away with his lean form. But he'd want to do a bit better soon, and going into next year. Parker probably hot on his heels.I'd personally love to see Ed come in and have a run for the next two weeks, real chance this week to give him some exposure next to Neale and Dunkley - 2 of the prime midfield movers in the comp. Be also interesting to have a look at a mix of Nick, Ned and Ed as a potential midfield trio for the future given all are 21-22 and (on paper at least) should seem to compliment each other quite well. Would also love Parker to also get a run ahead of Markov for the last two rounds.
Noble is an interesting one, seems to be a repeat of last year where he started the season really well and then slid out of form (and last year out of the side in the finals). Again started this season on fire, and looked like he was playing with a point to prove - but again his form has dropped away the last few months and if we were in finals contention his spot would again be seriously under threat. Is it a body not being able to get through a full season? Or a mental thing where he fatigues and switches off when it "gets too hard"? Strikes me as a player who's gulf between best and worst is far too wide, and doesn't hit the middle ground consistently enough atm.
