The whole “fit enough for the bench” argument always make me laugh. To make the bench you could be good for 20 minutes like Nick Powell was 2 years ago, but as good as you are no self respecting manager will play you from the start and see you limp off 20 minutes in and waste a substitution. Then of course fans moan “why has he played him when he isn’t fit?!”
If Grigg is at 60% and Vaughan/Garner are at 70% then they will start. If Cook feels Callum McManaman is a 20 minute gung ho, tactical substitution, impact player then that is what he’ll be.
