We've not got many other options. He obviously isn't a LB but who else do you put there? Tendayi has played the last couple of seasons at right wing and now he's an option for LB? Noooo chance.

Well drew talbot played his whole career either up front or on the wing, he seems to cope ok with playing full back.
All about opinions, cooper is built to play centre back, he's a good defender so we could get away with it, but I just think if cook wants to stick with his fluid system, cooper at left back will knacker it up and severely limit the left hand side.
I know darikwa is right footed but he knows how to play full back, more agile, a bit quicker and offers the option of attack as well, he'd be my choice.

Hird. Evatt. Cooper. Darikwa
Togwell. Ryan
Devitt. O'shea. Mcsheffrey
Doyle
I'd keep Doyle in after his goals on Saturday, but would like to see porter get some game time.

If you do what you always do, you'll get what you always get.

How flexible is Devitt, what is his best position.

He can put his foot round the back of his neck and suck his big toe.

Don't like the sound of tendayi at left back, he's not the most comfortable on his left side so IMO we'd be more rigid with him there. (not even sure if he's fit either?)
I also don't like the sound of cooper there, but he's our only fit left footed defender.

We've got to play Porter and Togwell.

We can't play O'Shea, Devitt, McSheffrey, Ryan, Morsy and Doyle because we'll get murdered by their hoofball tactics and at set pieces.

For me the inclusion of Evatt has to be a good thing. Height, strength and 90 mins more to get match fit. We've got to get Porter on and I'd put Togwell in to get him a game and to add a bit of extra height for when we're defending.

We know what Mansfield will be looking to do and this time we can't simply ignore it.

I wouldn't be totally surprised to see Cooper and Evatt as the two CB's. I think that's the long term vision so they'll get 90 mins.

Anyone think that Tommy will be rested?

What gets me is when the opposition play hoof ball why we don't advance one midfielder and get him to mark the opposition centre back or full back who makes all the play. Worked for Germany against England, they just marked John Terry and Matthew Upson had to then belt it upfield to no one.
