OK this deserves its own thread probably but lets put it here for now. Most of us accept that we have played our best football with a back 3 and 2 wing backs pushing forward. Problem is Lowe is injured until at least late January and there are a lot of games between now and then. So who plays as LWB?

The options:
Colback - suspended for WBA, not the quickest going forward
Bong- Not as bad as some say but painfully slow and like Colback wont offer much going forward
Spence - would be my choice swap him over and bring in Drager or Back on the right.
Lolley - decent option but worry he would break
Tutu - sadly already broken
A N Other - thinking one of Garner, Cafu or even Fornah out of position

Or is none of that the answer and we revert to a flat 4?

Yep.

Samba

Lolleh Zinc Brennan
Grabban

That is what I would do.

Couldn't we put Oj at LB?

It needs quality. He has it.

He can look after himself and easily pick out a pass to Brennan?

Didn't Drager play LB in an under 23's game?

I see Livermore is suspended tomorrow so at least he won't be kicking our players up in the air while the ref turns a blind eye.

Drager is playing in a international tournament starting from 30 Nov to 18th December, then he's at afcon..

[Salvatore Matrecano]

WTF? Why did we sign this bloke? He either isn’t involved in the squad here or he is off playing internationals. We are paying him and he is contributing nothing to us. I dont get it.

Contrast with Ojeda who turned down some international appearances so he could integrate with the squad.

We knew what we were getting with Drager as he was at Oly. We knew the international tournaments were coming.
