    If you were like me and said no we should not play him then you are. I wanted us to put out the bits and pieces players, like Rousillon.

    Makes me laugh people saying we have not got centre backs that can play in a four. 

    That’s their bread and butter.

    Quite, that why I said if it really is the case that we’ve left ourselves in the situation where we can’t actually play the most basic defensive formation the its utterly negligent.

    But that doesn’t factor in that Ramsay and Bell are really fullbacks who were converted into playing CB so it isn’t really their bread and butter at all

    But in a back 4 they'd both play fullback anyway.

    The issue is Burke, Jones and Gillesphey all being slow, physical centre backs, they're all too similar. We need a left footed centre back with pace to play alongside Jones, or you accept a right footed centre back at LCB (of the 3 it would be Jones again) but have a pacier option with them at RCB.

    Well not really considering our centre back options are a mix of full backs and then the actual centre backs have only really done well playing in a 3 in their careers 

    So I really don’t think it’s laughable, in fact it’s more laughable to think they can play in a four when there is very little evidence to support that
