maybe now is the time to give Rents a run!? The two boys in the middle are finding their feet why not him?
Because he's injured.

If Richards is out for anything longer than one game, PLEASE let it be a left-back.
Richards is out for 2 to 4 weeks.
Happy to have Mayo at LB so long as we aren't playing a team with pacey wingers.
El-Abd has been having a great season but always have an absolute stinker when playing at RB. Harty and Reid have obviously played there before but probably are not the answer. If it's a loan what's Zesh up to at the mo? He was good at RB when we last had him on loan.
That's shit news re Richards. We simply HAVE to sign a left-back if we're to have a chance now.
I disagree based solely on the way that Mayo played on Saturday. He didn't put a foot wrong defensively, and was even looking good going forward. I can only recall one misplaced pass, which was no worse than anyone else out there. If Kerry can repeat that form, especially as he knows he's fighting for a new contract then I think we'll be ok.
he is more than capable unless he gets put up against a pacey wide man who likes to get to the byline and deliver a cross. doncaster didnt have that on saturday, and as such he did a good job, and from memory i dont think huddersfield or swindon were particularly threatening out wide. its when we go to somewhere like forest that he is more than likely to struggle
Yeah I was, and he did play well. I just don't think he'll keep it up. If he somehow managed to put that performance in 8 more times this season I'd be more than happy, and totally agree with you that a new left-back isn't required. However, he hasn't strung 8 good performances together for a few years now, and Wilkins obviously doesn't trust him either, so at this vital stage of the season I don't think it's wise to risk it. If it was earlier in the season then I'd be up for giving him his chance as he couldn't do much damage, but it only takes a couple of poor games and that's our play-off chances over. Also, not forgetting, even if Mayo does continue to play well we're woefully short of cover.
Whatever happened to Sam Rents
