I’m probably in a minority here but I would keep him and start him. I think last year was a real eye opener for him, he got injured and made some poor errors and was penalised for them. But he is a big and quick unit and he is clearly cultured in the way he passes the ball. Like so many he doesn’t have to open his body up to make a pass but passes well with the outside of his foot. He can also spray the ball well diagonally. As I say - just my opinion. Opinions from others please?

Gets pushed off the ball too easily, if we can get anywhere near the amount we apparently paid for him I'd let him go and try to get a more dominant and physical centre back to partner Fish

One strong feeling I have is that Lawlor will start most games. It's about finding his partner.

Of the players we have, that'll be Fish or Daland.

I would go for Fish because he was the best of a weak defence last season.

Did Darland have a contract that said he could go if we went down ???
