If Husband plays at CB and Mitchell at LB...

...again, we're doomed. When I see the team line up, and they're in those positions, my heart sinks. Husband at LB (provided he keeps his head) yes. We have better options than Mitchell as LW. So a bench warmer for Mitchell for me. Oh! happy days 😟

Id stick Husband in at LB on Saturday and it will surely be Gretarsson unless Ballard has his rescinded. Ive watched his dismissal over and over and he doesn't do a thing. 4th official probably cost us at least a point.
 
Whereas the incident wasn't clear at all, Ballard himself didn't seem to protest too much at the decision.

I totally agree and I watched it more times than I care to remember and it's a scandalous decision.
 
Turton will play, he seems to be one of NCs favourites, Lord knows why he offers nothing going forward and hardly ever stops the opposition crosses coming into our box.

Marv will play, he has been showing signs of improvement.

Gretarrson should play, if he is worse than Husband and Thornily, we really should be questioning our scouts.

Husband for me at left back, all of his issues seem to be when he plays centrally, plus he is a much better defender than Mitchell.

Turton should play, the alternative is Gabriel who was poor on his debut and has only played a few minutes for us
We already will have a debut at cb so it would wise to tinker any more.
Also few of the goals conceded have come from the right, but you are correct in that he struggles to stop crosses. It is hard to be too critical of him going forward when a third of the games we have not finished with 11 players and 2 of the others have been against League leaders.

I thought the same. I think it’s a long drift away from the days of out and out attack to a more pragmatic defence, a holding midfielder and shuffle up the rest.
 
What's the point in 2x players for every position and not being able to use half of them because they are not good enough?
Our scouting system seriously needs looking at.
 
Marv will have to be careful in the next 3 games, whilst Ballard is missing. I think he his on 4 bookings already this season and another one will mean him being suspended for one game. We will be well and truly down to the bare bones in central defence!

I didn't even know it was 'on camera'.
 
Knowing the EFL they’ll back their men - it is interesting how culpable officials should be when there are jobs and potentially club’s futures at stake.
