Nah Baath has been POTS so far. An absolute rock at the back. Harsh but 09 could set dropped. Depends on formation like. He is slightly better at rightfullback than left but still a tough decision.

I agree that he has been player of the season but I think Onien has been class recently and has taken his game to another level. Ballard is our best CB imo and is starting to show way. Great decision to have having 3 top CBs and then a 4th in Alese with great potential. Exciting times for sure

Also depends who we are playing against, if in a team has more mobile forwards then this suits Onien but for teams that go route one I'd love to see Baath and Ballard - they would dominate

agree with all of this. Could be Ballard getting a rest. I know he’s proven he’s “back” but I’d argue it might be sensible to rest him considering he really shouldn’t have played 90 mins in all these games.

Likewise Batth really doesn’t need to be rushed. So Batth may miss out purely by the fact that we want to make sure he’s 100% before getting him back in.

O/9 might eventually replace Evans in mid field, just a hunch mind , but he has all the qualities to succeed there imo despite the rashness he showed when he was last tried in that role, if I remember Kevin Ball was the same at first but then formed a great partnership with Bracewell in a midfield 2 that never looked back, in football you just never know.

He played the midfield spoiler in the play off final and got it spot on, that reaction of his to a strong challenge late in the game typifies the lad.
Whether or not his passing game is good enough in a tight midfield is open to argument, but his long passing from defence is usually spot on.
I said on the match thread there's not many defenders could have scored that goal, he's got a bit of everything which might just be to his detriment.

O’Nien isn’t a midfielder and definitely not at this level.

Personally hope to not see 09 in CM again. Really isn't suited. That was at league one level. Some quality players on this league who run in and behind , past the CM line. 09 excells when it's all in front of him, using his combativeness to sniff it out. Harder to do on CM and awareness needs to be top tier. Also don't think he is clean enough on the ball.

Just more suited to defensive areas where he can see, from a distance, the phase and syle of play.

Think Wright's been doing well and looks at home at this level, he's done well at bringing the ball out from defence which I can't say I expected, but pace is always going to be a problem if the opposition have it.

On topic Hume keeps his place, he's been playing great it's his natural position and he's got a lot of potential.

Thing is though..Wright gets burned for pace. Blackpool was a prime example where he gave away an innocuous looking ball in the centre circle and Blackpool ripped him a new one. Have to agree with you that in the right games he has done well. To allow Wright to play we need Ballard AND Evans to pull us out the **** when he is left standing

Batth back in training. Does he partner Ballard with O’Nien moving over to RB? We’ve certainly got plenty of options. Hume has played well in recent weeks, he’d be unlucky to drop out.
