'It will come down to balance, so who plays at RCB if not Zak?'

Supcon
It won't be Atkinson, he's naturally left footed. Straight choice between Vyner and McNally. My choice would be McNally but by the time he's back Atkinson will probably be injured again.

This will be an interesting conundrum for GS once McNally is fit. It will come down to balance, Dickie can only play in the middle of a 3, he can’t play left or right or we’d be massively exposed, so who plays at RCB if not Zak? Atkinson & Dickie are better in the air, but neither have the pace required if Zak isn’t there. On this seasons performances, it might well be Dickie that drops out.

Atkinson on the left of a three for me, Vyner on the right, Dickie and McNally fighting out the middle one, in reality it gives us options, allows for injuries and rotation if all fit.

As Redprintt says, Atkinson cannot play at RCB as he’s left-footed as can be. Nor can Dickie for me, so, I think it’s will be Zak RCB, Atkinson LCB with Dickie & McNally fighting for the middle spot.

Either way we have 3 very good starting CBs with one in reserve. As I said, it will come down to the balance that GS needs.

I dont think it's guaranteed McNally will be back to his best. He has suffered and ACL and you dont always come back the same from them. I would be planning for the worst case scenario.

We’re pretty well covered at centre back, both with specialists and Tanner and Pring amongst others that can fill in adequately

Do you know your left from right? <laugh>

I think it will be Vyner - McNally - Atkinson (I like Dickie just think McNally is better)

McCorie and Borges. Borges is getting better and better.

But all in all come Jan, we will be a pretty good place in defence

I wouldn't consider Pring or Tanner, both good players, an adequate replacement for McNally as he was before his injury

I didn’t suggest they’re replacements, but can “fill in” in the short term, if required. Who’s to say McNally isn’t going to recover fully. Weiman did.
