Cant see van aken getting anywhere near a start if we stick with a back 4

Pudil was on the bench Saturday.

Played a few times for the 23s over the international break so can’t be far away. Maybe just not picked Saturday.

Interesting one now as to how Pudil will fit into a system with 4 at the back if Jos keeps playing this system. I thought that position on the left side of a back 3 really suited him.

 

Don’t think he would be ideally suited to play CB in a 4 and his legs seem to have gone in terms of getting up and down at full back position....

Van Aken will be out for several weeks with that injury he went off with. 

 

Not sure where Pudil fits in now we’ve gone to a back four. He’d be behind Hector and Thorniley for the left-side centre half role and I don’t think his legs are up to playing fullback - I reckon Jos might prefer Fox there if Penney didn’t play. 

 

Can’t see either of them playing many games this season unless we have another injury crisis.

He could probably cover those positions if called upon, from the bench though. Him and Hutchinson give us all the defensive options needed, so we can pack the bench with any available attacking players

Hector would more likely be on the right, although I have seen him play on the left for Reading

Hectors not been brought in to take the place of Lees has he. so if it is 4 at the back then he will be battling it out with Thorniley for the other centre back spot.

Knowing Jos he'll replace whoever's out of form.

May be right. But so far think it's only Dawson, Lees, Pelupessy and Bannan that have started every league games for us. And I don't think it's coincidence that they have.

I liked the way he had a bit of a rant at the players after Stoke...and don't think any players will rest on their laurels.

Exactly and Forestieri is prime example of if you don't do your job properly you will be out.

But those I said above have all done there jobs properly. Maybe some could offer a bit more. But all ok not to be dropped.

To be honest how the CB pairing have performed so far in the back 4 if Hector comes in its for Lees rather than Thornley.

And drop the club captain big statement. When he would have done everything Jos has asked of him. Think more likely we may see Penney rested and Thorniley pushed across. If he wants to Start Hector that is.

I'm just going on Performance. I think the defensive problems have come from Midfield I wouldn't drop either and Hector will have to wait I just think that out of the two at the moment Thornley is playing better.

Pudil is back up left back in a back 4, Morgan Fox should be loaned out in January. Our cavemen have ruined his confidence, still only a young man so might do him good.
