I wouldn't let El Abd anywhere near it, and I'd bring in Robinson for Cox.
The only position in which El Abd looks anything like reasonable is centre half, I'll agree with that. But I'm not sure he'd be my first choice. Butters is slow, but he's been doing pretty well. I thought he had a bit of a shocker on Saturday, but other than that he's been alright this season. I think he'll have to fight hard to keep Lynch or Hinsh out the team in the long term, but why would you play El Abd over him?
He was just a bit edgy and sliced a few out of play. Oh, and a couple of dodgy corners. Defensively he was alright. He's played for England U21s and in the championship, and his 'mistakes' on Saturday, to me, didn't suggest he was a rubbish player. I reckon he'll be decent still.
