Well you wouldn't want Bamba at left back.

I guess he could move Nelson but then would you want Bamba and Flint together?

We are cursed with an injury spell I'm sure :o looks like this will indeed have a knock on effect regards squad trimming,it's not as if it's squad players all the time :banghead: all regular starters,so what is it with us and injuries? :old: :bluebird:

I thought he would have put Bacuna at right-back, move Jazz to left-back (where he played against Preston, I think) and line up as a back 5: Bacuna -- Bamba -- Flint -- Nelson -- Jazz

On the match thread I think someone said that Nelson has gone left-back and Bamba has slotted in where Nelson was. Vaulks on the right-wing where NML was.

It went to a kinda of 343 with wing backs and Tomlin dropping a bit deeper and Hoilet playing off Glatzel.

Nelson was making runs from deep, had the odd break away

That's Morrisons three games up though.

Tbh I wouldn’t put Morrison straight back in, Warnock made that mistake and look what happened. I’d keep the personnel in Defence until someone really messes up or gets injured.
It would be unfair to split up Nelson and Flint right now as they are forming a good partnership and now with Bamba in the mix it has given Harris more options so I say that Morrison has to wait for his chance again, my opinion of course :thumbup:

Don't disagree Steve could go to a back three but don't know which way Neil h will go.

No way should Morrison go straight back in. The decision will though tell us a lot about Harris thoughts.

QPR played us off the park in the home game and how we won I have no idea. We will need Nelsons mobility I'm sure. Bamba played a good bit of our promotion season in front of two centre halfs when Gunnar was injured. That could be an option too.
