If Hinsh was back to his best now

Hinsh made a lot of mistakes last year like Harding. Excellent player, but it amazes me people think he's a finished product. He certainly wouldn't get in ahead of McShane, and I reckon it would be a big call to drop Butters for him, given that our back 4 isn't the tallest and most physical in the world.
I though hinsh was outstanding - better player than Virgo

Hinsh made no where near as many mistakes as Harding, Im struggling to think of 2 that led to goals conceded?
Id drop Butters to be honest and keep McShane, I think Guy is just a bit too slow now.

Going only on the basis of the one full game I've seen (at Leeds), it would be quite a gamble to leave out one of only two or three 6+ footers in our team (if it were Butters who made way), and McShane looked pretty handy. You'd certainly want to get Hinsh in, but it would probably be at full back if he was fit now.

It did show up a bit on Sat - maybe 3 at the back?

The man to drop ? Butters... he is SOOOO slow.
I think Butters was unlucky not to cut out that cross on Saturday and he gives us a bit of physical presence at the back which is what we need. I wouldn't drop him.
I like his 'no nonsense style' where he just clears the ball and does not fanny around with it like some defenders. You don't need speed to do that.

Stick him in at right back instead of OGH?

It's this type of amnesia that amazes me
He got outjumped by a defender for the first goal at Cardiff, had an air shot for the Derby winner at Withdean and had an utter nightmare at Plymouth, conned by a simple 1-2 for the first goal and somehow hand-balling for a penalty when he wasn't strong enough to hold off Chadwick.
I hate bringing up mistakes like this because I think Hinsh is a superb prospect, one of our best. But it's the double standards that prevail in giving some of our young defenders the leeway to make mistakes and others not that I can't get my head around.
If Hinsh replaced Butters in this current side, I would worry that we would be even worse at defending set-pieces than we were on Saturday.

Lets be fair - no one had a good game at plymouth - It seemed people at one point stopped passing to mayo he was so bad

Who would drop out? Playing Jarrett and Carole in that system would leave us pretty fragile down the wings.KinkyGoebels said:

Agreed, wingers and 3 at the back don't go together too well.
