He deserves a rest anyway and Seelt deserves a chance at playing CB for a few games. He will be a big miss though
Yeah I think a couple of games off will do him good, come back sharp and refreshed. Seelt looks good enough to step in no problem.
From the teeny bit of info I've heard it's thought Seelt will be played ahead of the defence in future. I have the feeling he was bought as a centre back but took everyone by surprise with his ability. Without the left back injuries Alese would've been more likely to play in central defence. Hjelde is there as cover for both. I have to repeat this is gossip from a lad connected to the club but not really in the know.
For me in the long term I'd like Seelt at CB and O'Nien at DM rather than the other way around, but I could certainly picture Seelt as a sort of young Kirchhoff. Like you say he took us all by surprise with how well he did at RB considering he's a beast of a CB, clearly he's got plenty of ability and is versatile.
I don't think anyone at the club knows what to do with him ... ... he's 6'4", athletic and determined, I doubt he knows where he'll end up.
I think there’s a realistic chance Ballard leaves in the summer and he (Seelt) would naturally move into that vacant spot, the likes of Joe Anderson and Nectar coming back from loans plus LON and Aji, I feel like we’re well stocked at centre half for the time being.
Can see Seelt as one of 3 CBs and stepping up into midfield when in possession. 5 at the back gives the full backs more freedom to push up support Clarke / Roberts so harder to double up on them, think that would really suit Pembele.
Pembele needs a good performance. Getting back up to speed but so far he has looked so far off it's been bordering semi pro levels.
Everton are supposedly after Ballard https://www.footballtransfers.com/e...x1iwVZ01hGqapEFRGKBijrSwaVhtRCyhk6nMFApuk6XKk
