Mitch Clarks not a left back is he??

If he's the kid who played there against Wigan then he was really good but I recall some saying thats nowhere near his normal position....
He's a centre back but clearly not big enough for that position in the Championship...left back is probably a compromise but he's a bloody good player, intelligent and good going forward.
My only reservation would be his lack of experience but I'd be very tempted to give him a go...Gareth Barry Mark II!

I thought he was naturally right sided?

He is a very right footed centre back who has often played right back for the reserves.  But He played very well on his debut at left back.  I think He is just a good footballer really.
I have watched him for the last two years and He is great every time I see him.
I doubt He will be picked against Wolves but if He is I doubt He would let us down.

Problem with Mitch is He is a dirty little git and picks up a lot of Red and Yellow cards so if He is having a tough time playing in a strange position He would not be averse to clattering his opponent.

Wolves are very talented in their front three

I think de Laet and if not considered ready, it's Hutton unfortunately
