He's just back from injury and I think too soon which is why I said leave him out. Don't want the situation we had with Mensah on the pitch for 10/20 minutes then crocked, meaning we use up sub and have to reorganize the defence. Not sure how not just you but a few more say he is our best defender when he hadn't played for a year and a half, although looking at our present crock of **** you could be right.
When he is there Talc they do look better organised. To me, the crap we are in, we have to play our best players. Is it a risk? Yep, but some still think Catts is a risk temperament wise. Me I have never had that worry with him, just with the officials.
Thought that was plan Z now as we don't have a plan A-Y or if we do I've never seen it for about a year.
He brings organisation to the defence and even JOS seems to up his game with Wes in the team. We need our best team out there and if he gets injured then so be it, at least we can then write him off for the rest of the season. No good wrapping him in cotton wool, this is a massive game for us, not just cos it's the derby, we need to halt the tide.
We must play Wes as he's our best central defender,and can organise the defence.I believe we should drop JOS,make Catts the captain,and play young Jack at LB.
