Yes, at least for the JPT game on Wednesday.

Obviously you have to play a set amount of first teamers but i wouldn't mind us trying something different in this competition.

I don't care who else plays Centre Back. Hawkins has been a liability since his injury, and he proved today he can't cut it at this level, at least for now.

yes and tell Lynch to get his arse back here and give us a decent backline to build from. Failing that Virgo or El-Abd

I have said for weeks, get Virgo into central defence. He played there against Man City and was quality.

I would go for Yes and get Lynch back but there is no way that is happening.
Therefore my vote goes to yes and replace him with Virgo.

But he is one of MA's blue-eyed boys, and he simply HAS to be picked when fit. I actually don't think he is as bad as some people make out on here. But even so Virgo should be an automatic pick alongside Elphick at centre back. It just makes sense, surely!?

i agree nick - i think it is the fact that it is blatantly obvious that he is NOT one of our best two centre backs that means people are desparate to slate him for any little mistake in order to emphasise that he should not be in the team

Hawkins should be taken behind the away end and shot, and then his body sold to a glue factory.

There doesn't appear to be an option for that.

Im the 1 that voted no . He really wanted to score a own goal today and take a load of abuse from twats like us who can only dream of being that shit and still playing pro football. :rolleyes:

Comparing a pro footballer who's playing badly, with 'twats like you' (not "us", thanks very much) is hardly an endorsement for someone who's privileged - and getting paid - to play for The Albion.

Respect for admitting that you are a twat, though. :thumbsup: :laugh:

He should never have been signed.

I can only assume Micky thought either Lynch or Elphick were off in the summer and that we needed cover.

Not up to it whether fit or not.

I would ring up Lynch and say sorry for keeping our most promising young player out of the team for a useless lump.

However, I suspect that won't happen so I would probably drop Virgo back to centre half.
