Seems it fell off the shelf when the pairing was upset in that instance though! Bailey Wright being brought back solved nothing and caused problems. Still think we’d be championship now if Sanderson had been fit all season.Agreed, if he's got the quality that everyone says he has he'll be fine. Doyle went straight in didn't he? I can see what Johnson is saying but on the flip side continuing to play Neil at LB is a pretty big risk too, yeah he's done well and is a good player but I suspect there's only so long he can do it for before it's exploited and mistakes happen.
O'Nien was rock solid at CB at first but there was a shelf life to that.
As for Cirkin. The lad is 19. Pep refused to play Foden as much as the fans and press were demanding as he knew better. I’ll back Johnson in this
