    Assuming KWP must have a niggle

    In that case leave him out completely.

    Interesting Brooks has joined us on loan as only used as a sub at Bournemouth yet is getting only a bit more game time with us.

    Maybe it would be a risk to play him, but one worth taking in the right circumstance.

    I just can't imagine Martin is crazy enough to leave him out for tactical reasons - if he has then he has lost it

    Apart from playing three centre backs the Team is sensible.

    I think Martin is crazy. An unfit, one legged, KWP is still the best right back in the league. Madness. Total madness.

    I blame all those who voted for Jack at the game for MOTM.

    I’m with you. There’s no way he chooses to drop KWP to the bench if it isn’t for the reason you’ve said. Should be a CB partnership of Bednarek and THB too but he’ll play THB RB again. We have no attacking threat from our fullbacks so it’s all on the individual skill of our attackers today. Happy with the midfield and attack on paper. No Charles on the bench once again. Given RM doesn’t rate him he was another massive waste of our limited ability to spend money alongside our dud striker.

    No RB is one hell of a risk against this very attacking team. Even more nervous now

    Most likely didn't want to risk KWP so quick after injury.

    He's been fine since the start of the international break. He's either picked up a fresh niggle or Martin's lost the plot.

    Blame, blame, complain and blame
    It’s all we have left to do in this game.
    FIFA and FM makes us up to the test
    Russell’s an idiot, we clearly know best.
    If his team doesn't match what each of us would do,
    Forget rhyme or reason, his tactics are poo

    Love how many jump to the conclusion it’s number 2.

    Stepping away a bit it maybe be that he has a niggle. That’s why he has started with Bree on the left. We can then bring on KWP on left or right for Jack or Bree. I hope.

    I presume so.
    If KWP has a niggle of some sort the full back options become:

    Bree and Manning
    Stephens and Manning
    Stephens and Bree


    I’m fine with the choice he’s made for Ipswich away. You only make that choice if KWP not available to start
