I thought Ojeda was the best outfield player last night, his desire to run forward with the ball at his feet is not something Colback, Garner, Cafu or Yates offer.
Feels a bit harsh for him to be dropped.

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?

Bong for me although I know I will get slated for saying it. Like you said SM he's not the quickest but he can whip a good cross in.

I’d give Lolley a try- I actually think it may give him a focus he needs and more space for his driving runs…

Three at the back does mean that Samba will stay on his line more and, as we have seen historically, can lead to us conceding silly goals.

Going to be a bizarre one for me, I'm in a complimentary box for this one. Going to be weird watching the away end limbs going everywhere and not being in the mix.
