Left back till Jan

[in exile]

footyskilz - You have N'zogbia listed twice.

I'd go for Hutton with Richards at right back and Okore next to Clark.

What game time has Crespo had so far?

[Clampy]

There's always the option of going five at the back away from home. It's not ideal but we may be a bit harder to beat and pick up a draw or two, although it would limits our attacking options. Who play's left back in that scenario though is open to debate.

[aj2k77]

At least we have options, there is no need to stick with Richardson. He's so bad he will be targeted every single game. If there isn't a better left back at the club than him then we are probably going down anyway because he's lower Championship quality. How is he even a left back anyway? I though for years he was a crap midfielder?

10 sh%te options is really no option at all. 

Personally, I'd give Kinsella a go. I don't its possible he could do any worse than Richardson out there. But he absolutely couldn't have Gil or Grealish in front of him -that would be suicidal.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

I would give Crespo a go personally.

What's the story with Okore? Wasn't he playing for the U21's about a month ago?

[UK Redsox]

Lescott is now way too slow to play left-back. He's also way too slow to play centre-back as well.

Crespo or Hutton for me.

Is it possible that out of the non-Rico & non-Lescott options, Zog might have the most experience at left back ?

[mattjpa]

They way we are playing we need attacking fullbacks. we also have a good selection of CB's. For that reason, id try Richards out there. one of his skills is carrying the ball out of defence. Clarke and Okore through the middle

[FranzBiberkopf]

Zog might have the most experience at left back ?

Possibly true. But the thought of him either having to win a d 50/50 tackle, or a header from a long diagonal ball, should delete him as an option straight off.

[Hoppo]

Liam Kinsella all the way.
Look at Everton they could have bottled it loosing Leighton Baines , they took a gamble on Brendan Galloway and its paid off.

[Reuben]

We all pooped our pants when Enda Stephens had to come in v Man United.  He did ok I think.  (I may have dreamt that this happened)  Maybe I am thinking of Andy Comyn v Liverpool?

Either way - if it is someone who specialises in that position (Kinsella) then why not do that rather than swap players around?

[kippaxvilla2]

I have no idea how to resolve it, but one thing I am sure of is Richardson should 'left back' in the dressing room.

[berneboy]

I'd go for Hutton with Richards at right back and Okore next to Clark.

I reckon this may be the least worst option.

[walsall villain]

Nobody stands out from that list. Kinsella has only played 3 games on loan at Luton so it's too early for him. Lescott would have been as bad probably on Saturday. Perhaps Hutton us best short term fix with Okore coming in. Don't want to see Richardson play again thank you.

[Matt C]

I'd move Richards over to right back, put Okore in at centre half and give Crespo a go at left back. I'd give some serious consideration to giving Bunn a run in the side too.
