Still only three points off playoffs!

i would play clarke and de berg whether others are fit or not!!!our fullbacks are the main concern,thought they were terrible today particularly dijkjsteel
 
It’s quite frustrating to lose games like. We play good football but the defensive errors are costing us games far too often
 
What we saying next week judging by the bench of today and assuming no one else is back fit will it be something like ?

dieng

Howson
Rav
Clarke
bangura

Barlaser
Crooks

Rogers
Greenwood
Lath

coburn

Possibly Silvera in there, instead of one of the strikers? I'd play that team though.👍
 
How come so many defenders are getting injured? It’s not like strikers and midfielders who are being kicked left, right and centre. It’s not as if they are sticking their heads in to prevent goals. Weird!
 
Would it be feasible to play Engel at right back next week(if we still have the injury list we currently have)?
What are the reasons he could or couldn't cover on the opposite side of the pitch for one game?

*This is a genuine question, I'm curious what people's thoughts are on this and why it could or couldn't work.

My view is that Engel's strengths are mainly attacking, getting down the left hand side and putting the ball across (distinct from crossing, as a lot of the balls he plays are on the ground) or playing Greenwood/Rogers in. He doesn't look particularly strong in defence particularly when players are running at him. If you played him at RB you would lose the main benefit of him in attack and have an average defender.

That being said, whoever is playing RB on Saturday will not be in their first choice position.

If we did go with one of Bangura or Engel at Rb it would be Bangura for me. Bangura is a bit more athletic and also from what I have seen is more comfortable on his right ( his goal was with his right) Engels right foot is for standing that’s it. I would play him left back
 
I have a feeling Jones will be RB against Ipswich if McNair is not fit, no way will Carrick play a left back in the RB position, that is not how the team is set up

Jones is a pretty good defender in all honesty, his is quick and his tacking is generally on point

He’s suspended

That would have been the obvious choice if he wasn’t suspended as Carrick has dropped him back there in games before
