Right back next week

Gooch is due back next weekend, and has been outstanding this season and doesn’t deserve to lose his place.

But Hume has been brilliant and doesn’t deserve to lose his place.

who plays?

for me it has to be Hume. Hes earned his right to keep going and I think clearly had a higher ceiling than Gooch. He could make that position his own and play there in the Premier League for us.

And Goochy with his work rate will be one hell of a versatile, experienced sub option off the bench. The role I was hoping O’Nien would play before he became a world class centre back


It’s a long season so I’m sure Gooch will come back in and get a long run of games at some point. Then we just need to work out how Huggins gets game time

 

Agreed. Hume has done very well since he came in and on current form, does not deserve to be dropped in favour of Gooch.

Another selection headache for the gaffer.

 

Hume for me. He's done nothing wrong in games and he's the one in possession of the shirt. It's up to Gooch to try and win it back if he gets a chance

 

Hume for me, but Gooch has been good this season so it wouldn’t be a bad thing either way. Right back has long been a problem position at SAFC so it’s good to be discussing these two in a positive way

 

Hume is first choice RB now in my opinion. Might be good to see what Gooch cab do back in his natural habitat of right wing

 

Gooch for me if Roberts plays. Great link up.

 

Hume’s place to lose for me.

 

it’s great that either option is great

 

Hume for me, if you come in and play as well as he has then he keeps his place over Goochy.

I like Gooch though. Good competition for eachother.

 

Hume for me

 

Hume starts RB and id play gooch at lb - played there a few times and done well there.

Id move onien back to cb with ballard. Wright has done well but swansea have good movement upfront n a bit of pace and thats what wright struggles with

 

good shout this

 

Be tempted to go 3 at the back with O'Nien and Ballard either side of Batth (assuming he's fit)

 

Alese might be back next week, would he come straight back in with Ballard and onien at LB? Wonder whats up with Cirkin, not on bench today.

 

Hume, Gooch struggles defensively

 

It's Hume's place to lose. Competition for places is everything, you don't just get to walk back in when the next guy performed so well.

 

Think TM said that cirkin n alese wont be back for the swansea game, both still got knocks. Danny B should be though but i think onien n ballard deserve to start

 

In that case, likely O9 will stay at LB

 

Yeah im not against him playing LB, just would worry about wright at cb as dont think he does well against teams like swansea

 

Wright got roasted for pace a couple of times today. I hope Alese is back ASAP. Wright is class for certain physical games but I'd rather have pace as the safety net.
