I think he was joking.

I think he was joking.
wishful thinking i suppose, but if Forest (and Lynch) agreed i'm sure he could come back

Fair enough. I would take Lynch back in an instant, but by all accounts he has been doing really well at Forest recently. I think we will be lucky to see him play for the Albion again.

Are you sure? Those two at CB has calamity all over it.

Who are Rovers front two? if they're big, strong & slow forwards you'd put Hinsh & Hawkins in at CB, if they're smaller & pacy, you'd leave Virgo & El-Abd there with maybe a sweeper behind them.

El-Abd
Virgo
Borrowdale
Cook
El-Abd
Virgo
Borrowdale
How is Elphick?

El-Abd is the obvious choice to play centre-half. Bristol Rovers are one of the highest scorers in the League so playing a 17 year old at RB who has only featured in two previous league games (not counting cup apperances) could shoot his confidence to bits.
I'm not sure about centre-half to be honest, as both Hawkins and Hinshelwood have had dodgy spells this season, but out of the two I'd put in Hinshelwood.

Sorry but I am going to stick up for Adam. He has been a lot better than most give him credit for this season. He's had to play in positions that aren't his- much like Virgo. Yet he still gives his all and on the whole does a decent job. He's more than capable of playing right back, and one poor performance today doesn't give the right for the moaners to come out and have a go at him. He's a model professional who works hard on his fitness and if three managers have had confidence to use him then surely that says something.
But then I suppose, there's always got to be someone to moan at. Least I see Owusu's not getting any flack anymore.

Agree with that. Hawkins at CB if Elphick is not fit. ElAbd or Cook at RB.

The other thing is how long is Whing suspended for. 2 yellow cards is a one game ban, but because he has had a ban for 5 yellows already this season I think he might get a 2 game ban for yesterday's sending off.
The deadline for yellow-card bans has passed so I would expect that it would just be one game for the red (his first this season). Club site says against Bris R (who also had a defender sent off yesterday).

El Abd had a shocker yesterday. He's clearly lacking in confidence, probably not helped by playing out of position for most of the season. However, my main concern yesterday was the grief he got from our own fans prior to even taking the field. Is that going to help the lad?
