    Its the one position we'd have to fill square hole with a round peg if either Watt or Sutton get injured. I think Shanks is the closest relacement we have or is it Scales?

    Evans has also played a lot of his football at right back so could cover there if we moved FCD to holding mid without it being square peggs

    Ossie Ardiles approach. To be fair I wouldn't put in past Rowe being able to drop back

    The way the kids have performed in their first year this season we could be tempted to call-up Charlie Wood from the under-18s. It will be interesting to see who they give pro contracts to at the end of the season.

    Can't see Watt or Sutton wanting to miss any part of this rebuild under Trueman and Sellars so it will take a very bad injury to sideline them.

    I believe Staunton has played holding midfield as well. I can’t seeing him getting a game at centre back unless we get injuries

    Loads of options Staunton played holding midfield for youth teams

    He has, but if he gets injured or his form drops we're desperately short of that type of player.

    I'm not as worried as I was about the suspensions. He has definitely reined it in a bit since his last red card.

    JOB was good though and our best form that season was December when he really drove the team. As soon as he left, we were knackt

    ah, I didn't know we were talking about cheating. I'd like to think that Sutton and Watt wouldn't do this, as they are professionals. But I get yours and @1975citygent@1975citygent point now. Sad if it's the case doing that to the great man. You'd never catch him doing that during his playing days. What was that match, where Macca got knocked on the head, and then had to ask the ref which way he was playing. Scotland I think.

    Not going to name names, but quite a few who dipped in and out and didn't look comfortable in the 3/5/2

    Has to be said it's sometimes the default move of the player who's unhappy at a club and keen to leave - but also wants to continue pulling his wage.
