I'm with Leuth (yes really) I'd like to see Purrington used as a wide(?) CB option on the left side.
I mean, if Gunter and Matthews can look handy in that role on the right side then Purrington should be getting an England call up if deployed on the left of a back 3.
With no pace and no passing ability ? Hmm.
Purrington, no pace?! Got more pace than Lavelle, Inniss and Pearce, that's for sure!

More than Pearce , certainly.
I know most on here think Purrington is the second coming of Roberto Carlos!

I wouldn’t be sure if he is faster than Inniss, who is deceptively quick.
Clare messed up for a goal but has been great. He stays. Inniss can play LCB?
No doubt he's been excellent but I think he needs a rest. He's been really good but he made two errors back to back that cost the deciding goal. Lack of concentration to give away the foul and then lost his man who scored the winning goal from the set piece.
I still remain wholly unconvinced by Lavelle. Not sure we are getting promoted at any point unless he is a squad player / 3rd choice centre back at best.
You can count the number of points we've won when he's started and finished a game on one hand and you can chop that hand off and still count the number of clean sheets.

You would've been able to say the same about Clare and Dobson if they had got injured at the same time as Lavelle did. Now they are first names on the teamsheet for many fans.
He clearly has a lot of doubters among CAFC fans to prove wrong but I think he's getting unfair stick because he came over from an unfashionable "minnow" club.
Looks more comfortable playing central in the three where he isn’t being asked to chase wingers into the corners too often. Liked his surge forward with the ball in the first half. Thought he looked bang average to begin with but starting to see some potential. Hope he continues on this path as he is at least one who is looking like he might be up to the job next season.

Famewo doesn’t help our passing out from the back, we need a left sided version of Clare.
He certainly stood upright and less awkwards than Pearce and Famewo all game who played like they've got half a leg to operate with.

For me it’s far too early to judge him but I think he can go on to do well for us.
