Don't agree about Loovens!! Our best two CH are probably Lees and Turner, but Loovens is a very capable backup to them. We are a bit short after that but I think Sasso would have played today had he been fit, and he hasn't looked too bad when he has played. Hutchinson played well today in that position so that gives us essentially 5 CHs in the squad who can do a job for us. Its just having 3 of them injured at the moment that isn't helping, but that is not likely to be the case much during a season.
As regards Hooper, you are right, he has 4 games to show something more than he has so far. He did ok today but for me sat too deep most of the time and left us with no up top outlet when we needed to clear our lines in the last 10 minutes. I can't see Hooper staying beyond his current loan and I am hoping that we replace him and Nuhiu in the squad in January, although I still think Nuhiu has a role to play in the squad.
