Defence on Saturday

[RM-Taylor]

With Whing cup-tied, El-Abd suspended and now injured and Guy Butters injured. Who does that leave us to play at right-back ? Tommy Elphick ?
Georges Santos ?
Chris Breach ?

I think that Tommy will get his first start for the Albion, and we're running out of defenders.

Elphick - A Hinshelwood - Lynch - Mayo

 

[Bakesy]

WILL WE NEED A DEFENCE THEN?.......... I assumed we were going to win 8-0 again.

Nah f*** it let's play 1-1-8.

I'd go with that, the other option is

Lynch - Hinsh - Santos - Mayo

either would be enough for Stafford and it just depends how quickly Wilkins wants to bring through Elphick.

 

[fatboy]

Is Elphick really a right back? No. He will play out of position and be crucified on here.

Is Chris Breach actually fit?!

 

[fatboy]

Of course he is! Not as much as you were tonight in that SUIT though. Oh yes, I may not have spoken to you governor, but my god did I look at you

Suits you sir.

Surely Paul Hinshlewood would be the obvious choice at right back?

Cup tied unfortunately - played for Burgess Hill in an earlier round.

 

[Seagullible]

how about

Henderson
Lynch Hinsh Santos Rents

Fraser Mayo Hammond Cox
Robinson Revell


Reckon Kezza could take over the job ElAbd was doing?

Why was that allowed to happen?

 

[Silent Bob]

Why was that allowed to happen?

You'd think we'd have learned after Lynch was cup tied last year.

or perhaps Gatting gets a start?

 

[London Irish]

Is Elphick really a right back? No. He will play out of position and be crucified on here.

Isn't Wilkins on record as saying he wants his players playing a variety of positions? He thinks it aids their development and makes them better footballers. He hasn't just said this once, but in 3 or 4 interviews over the last couple of months. If Elphick is going to be a capable centre-back, he really should not be getting crucified at right-back by mid-table Conference players.

It will surely be either him or Lynch playing out of position, or Santos as a long shot?
